Is there only one area that is "non coated"? The few pics I saw it looks like only one area is bare.

Yep how mine is only 1 bare area. It has 2 but how mine bolts in it is only contacting 1 bare spot. I believe that may be why they said run a ground from the carb stud.

Gotta ask.
Is that the one you put the ground to and made sure it electrically contacts the bare area?

No. I hooked the HEI module to a back carb stud and its is grounded. Also just checked the bare are it is getting ground also.

Hmm..I wonder if it's not making a proper ground on the inside of the unit.
Or could it still be a fuel issue. But the screen going white (or gray for Ray) kinda makes me think it's electrical somehow.

Seems to be something with the 12V and ground.
I still say try the direct wire for hot and ground and on the ground try all the studs just to put that to rest.
We have a few more months of cold to get this figured out. Just what you wanted to hear, isn't it.

Well looks like a damn ground issue. Ordered up some grounds from Amazon.
