Hi Wade, Yep, that was a common problem with those distributors after they got some age/mileage to ‘em. There is a round, screened vent in the bottom of the housing which allows for air movement in and out of the distributor. They get plugged up with debris and then the distributor can't "breathe" and stay cool. The vent is about the same diameter as your little finger. Find it and clean out that accumulated, white residue with a shot or two of compressed air. It will help to clean all the white “tracking” residue from inside the cap and rotor also to prevent future plugging of the vent. That'll cool 'er down and stop that module failure. Allan
