Just to eliminate any question, I ran 10ga power and ground feeds direct to the battery for testing. What I've descried above happens with those wires in place, and slightly worse without.
Tried to get a good signal from the distributor but couldn't find a good one. Agree, the little red box is a mystery! Hate to throw parts at it, but if its done doing what it needs to do, I'm OK with getting another, although I doubt they are made as good today.

Basically you just had a good EMF antenna unless you ground it to one end of the block or ground strap to the battery.
