Really dude.
Module is 45 bucks?
Distributor is 95?
For another 50 bucks you ALSO get a new cap, rotor, pickup coil, and complete housing?
Seems no brainer to me. Everybody knows pickup coil replacement is RARELY effective and too labor intensive to be cost efficient. Better to swap entire unit. Better all around decision.
Consider the time = money spent "diagnosing" the trouble. You are already WAY upside down trying to save a buck.
So far upside, you can't get back even for YEARS.
It's a Chevy truck dude. A gmt 400 requires no genius, money, time, special tools, or skill to repair. That's what is so terrific about them. You aren't going to solve any great mystery or discover a profound solution of some sort. My desire is not to appear negative, but it's already been done dude. A million times. Very common, slap a new loaded distributor in it for 10 minutes worth of work and a Ben then move on down the road.
How much is peace of mind worth to you?
