The module IN the distributor probably failed......
Quite common.......make sure to use dielectric grease on bottom of new module when installing to help transfer heat.
Hope this solves problem. Good Luck

I bought mine a month ago, everything was fine and one time, the engine turned over but no firing of any cylinders.
Turns out mine had a manual killswitch under the dash. Kind of a homemade 70s anti-theft gizmo. I'm glad someone suggested this possibility before I started tearing things open and buying parts!!!!
Is yours recently purchased? If so, are you sure you didn't flick a 'mystery switch' by accident?

I see this is your first post. Did you just recently get the car?
