the guy at the checker zone is so dumb unless i know exactly what i am looking for he cant find it. this goes in the distributor. it is on the back side of the dist. the wires plug into it. can you test it. i think this is more likely to go bad than the coil. i was at sonic trying to get a drink and it died in line and wont start again. please help

Ignition Control Module or is it Distributor Control Module??????

 

[webcat]

Thats a Ignition Control Module

I looked for the testing procedure online but did'nt find nothing
I think auto zone can test it

 

[Mr_Bowtie]

^^^Ahhhhhhhh there you have it! :lol:

Do you know if you need thermal paste on the ignition control module when installing ?, I know i had to on a ford distributor and i was just wondering about this GM module

 

[webcat]

heres something i made along time ago

 

[Mr_Bowtie]

Yes and I believe you should get new paste with the module.

 

[webcat]

Good to know , thanks Bowtie

 

[jeff's93astro]

thats a ignition module. auto zone can test them and you have to buy the paste seperate the new one dont have none with it and the module you have is already been replaced sometime in the past cause its a wells and not gm

 

[evil_motors]

man your auto zones must be better than ours.. they only do alternators and starters here

 

[Mr_Bowtie]

That sucks it should come with the paste. :shrug:

 

[$uperJoe]

that was the problem. i switched it with one on the shelf for the small block. the plugs and bolt holes lined up so i figured might as well. any long term affects either pos or neg from not having the v-sux one in there??

 

[webcat]

I just bought some thermal paste today for my PC fan , $10 for a very small tube Radio shack

 

[webcat]

Whats v-sux?

 

[stoneground1]

I wouldn't recommend using thermal paste for PC's. It's used to distribute the heat from the CPU to the heatsink. It has no electrical qualities. Such as permitting electricity to pass through it. You would do more harm than good putting it on the module.

v-sux is not the standard 8 that i love. kinda a joke between my friends. its more funny when talking about a mustang or berlinetta camaro

 

[Mr_Bowtie]

V-sux.........I like that. :lol:
