Good tip on test leads, I'll have to make some.
Any ideas how to test the distrubitor? Its nothing special I dont think it has one of the modules like some of the others.
Thanks

It takes an elaborate piece of equipment to properly test the distributor components.. Any fully equipped automotive repair facility can test/repair it.. During the years I worked as a drivability mechanic, I replaced very few failed pick up coils.. On the other hand, I replaced hundreds of those modules.. They're very prone to failure. So prone that I carry one in the glove box of my truck. I don't normally promote guessing and parts slinging.. In this case, due to the failure history of the GM ignition module, if it were me, I'd go first with the odds and just "shotgun" (take a WAG and replace) the module..
