Non CC HEI Need Help ASAP!!!!!

Ok i have a carb'd 305 with a non CC HEI, the car ran good and i shut it off the oter night, and the next morning i installed a new tach, and a used hypertech cap and coil went to start the car didnt start, so i dissconnected the tach and put the orignal cap and coil on... Didnt start, so i replaced the coil, cap and rotor, didnt start... Had autozone test the 4pin module, tested good 7 times in a row... When i take a plug out, and hook it to a plug wire and crank the car it sparks like it should, but the spark is very weak... Put new plugs in it, and it sounded like it wanted to start the first crank but didnt... Ive returned the coil and got another new one and still nothing...

The cap is new, the rotor is new, the coil is new, and the control module tested good 7 times in a row... I know i put the probe and rubber washer in right, and i did hook the ground strap under the new coil... Why am i getting spark but not enough spark?


Please help tom. i have work and need the car to start...

FIXED YAY...

This is just another reason why i DO NOT shop at autozone... I had to this time cause they were the only ppl with the control module but never other than today...

So yea, autozone tested my module and said it was good, said it tested gook 7 times... Well i OHM'ed the coil pickup coil and it all tested good, so i said f%@! it and bought the module for 26.99, dropped it in, and the car fired right up...

A little conclusion, i have read some threads asking if the HEI module can effect the voltage to the plugs... Yes it can my setup would spark the plugs very little, but not enough to fire the car... New module #DR100 and it sparks like the HEI ought to....
