symptoms

Could easily be your Module or your coil pak. If your coil pak ohms out right, it still could be bad.....
Good luck!
Oh by the way use AC Delco plugs....cheap and they work!

Best time so far: 12.78 at 107.5mph on radials, 2.05 60 ft
Car weight without driver 3610 lbs

Do you know if anyone's been in the engine latly, cause it's real easy to set the cam sensor 180' out. With it in backwards the car will do all kinds of weird things, but that doesn't really sound like your problem.
As Steve said check the coils. The coil being backwards will not affect how the engine runs, I changed mine in '96 and and it crapped out again this summer so when I changed it I found that I had put in on backwards.
As for the module they tend to not cause this type of problem, I'm not saying it can't be your problem but with ign modules they tend to be a work or don't work situation.

Good luck

well, I checked the coil pac that the previous owner had and it ohmed bad, checked the one one the car and it looked good, everything at 11.2, but I am going to borrow one from a friend that he knows is good, should find out tomorrow and will let everyone know. Jr.

Here's what I do.
Use an inductive timing light just above the boots of the wires to check for firing.Run the rpm's up a bit and check again.Do this for each wire.
If two misfires are paired,check the coilpcak powers.
Now,the towers up top can Ohm out all right,but there can still be a problem on the primary side of the coilpacks.
I bought a used coilpack and module from the wreckers and here's what I found:
Primary side resistance on these packs is about 1000 Ohms.I compared it to a month old unit I bought at Cotton's,they were the same.
Secondary is about 11,400 new,13,000+ used.
While you've got the coilpack off the module,you can check between the primary and secondary sides for resistance.Should be infinite on all packs.
If the coilpack checks good on all these tests and you've got a pair of cylinders misfiring[same pair on coilpack],then you've more than likely got a bad module.
Hope that helps a bit.

Hey, guys I believe I have found my problem, changed the coil pac and module to a known good one but that was not the grimlin went ahead and did a comp check and didn't know if I was doing it rite because cyl #1 had 10 lbs and #3 had 0, but the rest were anywere from 140-145, so I am hoping a blown headgasket.Only thing is that I don't know how bad the the det. was to blow a head gasket and how bad he may have hammered the bearings all I can say is that time will tell. Thanks Jr.
