On my way to Reno, just outside of San Jose, NM on I40 westbound the great 455 decided to stop! Pulled over on a narrow shoulder checked things out and found that I had no spark. Swapped modules, still no spark. Decided to punt and get a tow. After a long time wait as it was getting dark, truck arrived and I we had a wild ride to a Walmart in Albuquerque. There changed the coil and still no spark. Getting ready to swap distributors.

I tried to call the usual people I call, but no answer. This Walmart wants us out today.

Wondering if anyone has an idea of what else to check. EFI with EBL and computer controlled distributor.
