Designed to drive HEI module plate...

Couple of updates:

1. I seem to remember a peg on one of these units. At any rate, I know I would have cut it off if present.

2. For giggles and curiosity, I tried cranking it over today on a cold start. Started up immediately and fiercely - pretty sure there was enough fuel atomizing in the intake manifold since yesterday to make it wake up that aggressively. Not that it matters.

At any rate, the HEI unit isn't 100% dead.

The coil theories are all starting to add up. I may pull a canister-style coil out of my parts bin and make a couple of pigtails so I can go back and forth between the two coils if I do have a no-ignition situation. One of the fellows at FBBO suggests testing the Ford TFI coil with an oscilloscope.

I'm intrigued at the 8-pin module's low voltage protection. Does it have the same bolt pattern as the "boomerang?"
