any suggestions?

Car ran for about 50 miles then the tach jumped around and the car died will not restart. Put a rebuilt 79 electronic distributor in with a new E-1280 module. Wirring is correct. I even went as far as to energize the coil with 12 volts from the battery still no spark? Curious as to the relay on the firewall? Should i have to do anything with that doing this conversion? Car is a 73 240Z. Any help greatly appreciated :rambo:

The module was my thoughts as well thank you for the advice

Did a recent conversion as per this forum on a 72 240Z. Ordered a rebuilt 79ZX Distributor with a E12-80 module wired everything up car ran great tach worked. Ran about 50 miles as i was driving the car the tach started jumping around the car sputtered and died and will not restart? Check all connection everything is tight also check power to the coil it has power on both the positive and negative side of the coil and does not flash with a test light uipon cranking of the engine? Do these E12-80 module have a tendancy to fail? Am i overlooking something? :surprised Any help would be great. Thanks
