Tim, I'm definately going to go module/coil route early on. I'm not sure early on applies anymore

. Tim, the module is under the distributor body, I guess that means replacing it requires pulling the distributor?
Jeff, I do have a degree wheel and will also follow your suggestion. My balancer is marked in 90 degree increments, so maybe I can "eyeball" it before hand to see if it requires a more exact measurement. I think from what I saw last night, I did it correctly, I'm just not very good at describing what I did and what I saw.
But then I did it so, well........
