Bad HEI ignition module???

[mustangmarty]

How do you determine if an HEI ignition module is going bad or not? How do they act when they are going out?

Well, thanks anyway ken75ranger for trying anyway. I think I may have figured it out though. I'm thinking that the 12V coil lead wire resting on the exhaust manifold might have had something to do with it. :-[ The wire protector was melted but the wire insulation looked fine. I wonder if the heat alone could have caused a resistance in the 12V lead wire allowing the plugs to fire, but not very efficiently... On pulling out the plugs, they were just starting to foul out from not burning all the fuel in the cylinders. After taking it out onto the highway for a spell, it seems to run better now. We'll see how it acts in the morning
