resistance check for ignition control module

[Sully]

before I drop 130 bucks on my new ignition control module, is there a resistance check I can do to see if it in tolerance?

ok, so I replaced the friggin igntion control module (thank god I have one of the ones that moved it off the distributor) and still wont start. I am waiting for a helper to turn the key while I check for spark in a few different places. Any thoughts on the issue?

, Hmmm, i dont knwo much about Vortec's. Do they use anything else to control spark? Like the crank sensor or something?

I had thought about that, but I would think with a crank pos sensor it would run... like a bag of smashed ass, but it would run

i would check all the grounds, and if still no fire, maybe go to the wreckers for a PCM?
