Right now though, I am somewhat suspicious of my module in the Mallory distributor. It is acting a lot like it did last time it went, although it did a lot more back firing that time. Maybe Rev will chime in here and tell me what his did when it went bad. I also had one go bad and it just wouldn’t start. Ryan

When my Unilite modules fail, the engine just stops as if you had turned off the ignition switch. Then it would start right up again for some unknown period of time. I did call Mallory the first time that happened and they told me that was what the module did when it was beginning to fail. I did have one that would cause a backfire because it would turn off the spark momentarily and the turn it back on again. None of this sounds like what your engine is doing though. Wish I could be more help.
