Need HELP?
Need some help? I have a 87 r1500 tbi 350. A few months ago I was having problems with the ignition module blowing out all the time, found out my alternator was the problem, my alternator was old, so I replaced it with a new Powermaster alternator, and never had another problem with the ignition module blowing out. All the sensors are new and it has brand new coil, I am running a clutch fan and a 195 thermostat. It has a holley intake and holley tbi. I was sitting in the sonic drive-thru today and and started driving and sure enough the truck went dead. Took the ignition module off and replaced it and it fired right up. Would heat be a problem, truck wasn't overheating or could the whole distributor need to be replaced, because I've replaced the cap and rotor but the distributor is the original one.
