Coil Change and Ignition control module...
I recently change my Coil for a Mallory 29212 and my Ignition Module for this http://www.amazon.com/ACCEL-35361-Ig...pe=5&carId=004 After that the engine didn't started. check the wires was all OK, I swap again the module for the old gm that I have and fired-up at once...
Why could be that?
Second issue. didn't have time to go for a ride but I noticed that the idle was smoother with this coil... Check the initial timing and was 15... and I set it last week at 12 maybe 13... could this change only for the coil? and also I tried to read with my timing light at higher RPMS and started to going crazy the light... and with low RPMs no problem...
And 3rd question.... if there's no visible leaks in the brake lines, calipers master cylinder why the fluid go down? to the point my brake pedal go straight up to the bottom?

Stop wasting money on aftermarket ignition garbage. It won't do anything positive for performance.
Read up on how to use a timing light and how to adjust the ignition- the info is in all basic manuals.
If you have a power brake car, probably the booster is now full of brake fluid- the master cylinder is leaking at the rear.

I already used the timing light before and adjust before the coil change with no problems... check the curve... started with 13 of initial, + 22 of mechanical advance get 35 at 2500rpm + the vacuum advance of 16... the thing is that with the new coil at high rpms the light start to jump and couldn't get a reading... and at low rpms no proplem with the readings...
