My Thunderbird Died Driving On Road Please Help Reply #22 – October 24, 2017, 02:38:16 PM I didn't get the module yet , had a friend stop by and he said he wanted to check inside the dist cap so he popped it off and saw the pick up on the inside edge had the rubber-like coating crumbling apart with large bits of it fallen down the dist , ha also saw that the metal tip of the rotor was bent when it hit a piece of the rubber debrishe said with no spark first thing to do is to check the coil then if it is ok then maybe replace the module inside the dist since it could have been damaged by the crumbling debris from the side pick up like the rotor was Quote Selected
