I recently had my engine rebuilt (5.7L chevy). I had them install HEI distributor in place of points style distributor. I have used the boat 3 times since then and twice the ignition control module has gone out leaving me stranded on lake waiting for a tow!! I thought electronic ignition would be more reliable. I didnt upgrade anything just a stock rebuild. There used to be a resistor used for the old distributor. That isnt there anymore. Do I need it? If not what else could be burning up the modules? If I do need one where does it go ? On one of the wires to module? Any help would be appreciated . Mechanic said I shouldnt need any resistor
