The Jimmy died on the road Monday night. Pulled away from a stop and sputter, sputter, dead. Cranked but wouldn't start.
It was dark and cold and I have road side assistance through my insurance so I had it towed home. Yesterday I checked it out and found power to the HEI but no spark. Searching the forums and getting feedback from members it's probably a dead module or coil in the HEI.
Napa wanted $55 just for the coil so I ordered whole new distributor for $50 from
Skip White on ebay. I also ordered a "rebuild" kit with new cap, rotor, coil, module, etc. Hopefully I can get the stock HEI back up with the new parts and then put the new dizzy on when it gets a little warmer.
Parts are scheduled to arrive on Friday.
