latest trouble-shooting update
nice day = work on Capri again. pulled off distributor cap again, looked at module inside. checked wires there and... one of them has a place where bare wires shows, it had a burnt looking spot on the dist housing. I re-arranged the wire away from the housing, put it back together, started up. ran about 2 minutes then died. I let it sit a little while and it repeated. start, run, die. i'm pretty sure this is the problem.
also, the distributor seems to be getting hot to the touch there.?.
does anyone know what the 1 single connector on the module goes to? or comes from?
I once found something which labeled the other 2 connectors -- coil(inner post) and B+(outer connector)
