Default Need ignition advice......

I have a '61 wagon w/stock 455 and TH-400. I am using an HEI from mid '70's (I think) I have it directly wired to the keyed side of the fuse panel. During the first week, probably 25 years ago, the little sheetmetal module thingy with one wire on one end and two on the other failed. I dont know how I knew that was the problem, but putting another used one in cured it. It has started many times instantly since then........

This past week we went to the last car show in the park. Started it several times in the course of going, stopping for breakfast, letting her out, etc. However, when we got ready to leave 7 hours later, it hit instantly, didnt run, then wouldnt hit after that. Tried several times. By the time I raised the hood, borrowed a screwdriver to jump a spark from a wire to some ground, it started. Has started several times since.

Now I cant trust it....... It will become an estate item pretty soon. I need some for sure cure before that.

Whadda ya think I should do...????
