It all began with a tune up and now it will not crank at all. I changed the plugs and wires and put a new distributor cap on it and it fired right up and ran like a top for about 15 minuts then it just shut off like I turned the ignition off or something. Its not getting any spark and I cannot figure out whats going on with this thing. What should I check next? I even put the old distributor on it and still nothing so Im wondering if something else went out on it??

It is a HEI and the ground strap is all good. It turns over fine its just not firing since it shut off suddenly. Im starting to think it is the ignition module myself. Im a fuel injection coil pack kinda guy so I dont now alot about the old ignition systems even though they seem to be fairly simple. It doesnt help someone else did the v8 conversion in this jeep so its got some funky wiring.

Your probably on the right track because they had a lot of problems with those. You want to check for injector pulse first. If you have pulse, then the module would be a good bet. If you don't have pulse, then we need to go another direction, possible a pick up coil. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Okay after I decided to double check I noticed I didnt put the ground strap on. So I put it on and of course it wont crank. My ? is what did it burn up since it was not grounded.

It was the ignition module. Runs like a champ now.
