C3 TI problems......

by Tom Stewart
(Imlay City Michigan )

1971 Corvette 350 LT1, Car is dying when getting hot, after this started happening, I changed out the Trasitor Ignition Amp Module, car starts and throttle response seems a lot better, but when car gets hot the motor starts Miss firing then dies. Did as much searching as I could, what I read is that the magnetic pick up coil in the distributor is bad..... My question now is this: Is there a way to test this pick up coil? It's about a 200 dollar piece, If I don't need it, it's an electrical component, they will not return it. Hopefully someone can help me.
