Hi Vincent,

Buy and carry a spare ignition module if your coach has HEI distributor. These can fail without warning at any time. The modules are small and easy to change without removing the distributor from the engine. Just pull the distributor cap, remove the rotor (two screws) then remove the two screws holding the module in place, unplug the module from the connectors at each end, renew the heat transfer grease and replace the module. If your coach starts to run ragged or misses it could be fuel starvation (likely plugged filter in the front of the carb) or it could be a failing module.

As Don suggested be sure to stop at GMC Coop in Orlando. Jim Bounds and his crew have about as much hands on experience with these great old coaches as anybody. Good, fun folks, too.
