My first mopar "stranded" moment with the HEI setup

The 7-pin module was sourced from a stock HEI distributor. Not sure of era.
Do want to hijack the topic, but would you know anything about the 'bypass'-mode on these modules?
Without the remaining pins hooked up, the module will always run in 'bypass-mode'. I'm wondering if this has any effect on its dwell settings perhaps.
