    Ok I was out today everything was fine was out with the crowd at the Metro Cruise here today and the jeep just stalled I was able to get it restarted and head toward home that was about 2 miles away but I didn't make it it just quit and I couldn't get it started again. I walked home and we towed it home. I checked things over and there was no spark. I completed an ignition upgrade to my 72 304 to a motorcraft setup all new parts, Dist. TFI coil, and control module. Module was hot so I figured all of the idling in the traffic caused it to get too hot and it failed. So off to NAPA for a replacement module. I installed it tried to start it. Never fired and I then let all of the smoke out of the controller. Any Ideas what went wrong. I have driven 2 to 3 hundred miles since the upgrade hadn't had any trouble. Thanks:?

    I checked out the wiring and I have a glass body so on ground problem on the firewall mount. I'm thinking possible coil grounded out?
