Default Trouble in Paradice

1990 with a 6 speed.

Driving down the freeway and it dies, no spark.
Replaced the ignition module timed it and ran perfect for 100 yards.
Now it misfires and will hardly run.

Where do I even start?

Check for codes? Make sure it's getting gas? Use timing light to make sure you're getting spark to all cylinders? I'd probably start at one of these places.

you were in the distributor, be sure coil terminals, etc, are seated, not pushed out. missing is spark, my guess. focus on that rather than fuel.
