Sorry about the almost post. My fingers are too fat. 

Anyway I want to update you on my recent debacle's. I switched the 
ignition module to the Echlin module and I managed to drive it for about 
30 miles BUT it still missed badly over 3500rpm. Then all of a sudden it 
started dying on me and I barely made it home. This time the ammeter was 
about pegged and when I tried to start the engine it sounded like a low 
battery. It is a very recent and good Interstate battery which shows 
12.9v with my meter. Anyway it did start and then cranked fine but the 
ammeter is showing charging heavily. There was no device running other 
than the engine, period. The car would slightly back fire when 
decelerating and just spit and sputter when accelerating. Full throttle 
or sudden throttle changes were impossile.

I'm wondering if the voltage regulator or alternator could be a culprit? 
If the voltage to the module is eradic I suppose that might affect the 
spark signal? The air/fuel ratio sensor on the dyno said we were right 
in the ball park at that point in time. I gotta think that would not 
change since we did nothing to affect that since then. I did put the old 
module back on and it behaves just the same as the new one. Rats!
