The engine: 2056 w/dual Webers; Mallory Unilite Distributor
The scene: caught in a severe downpour The issue: started up but ran slightly rougher than usual but did smooth out. Drove ~3 miles home and, about a block from my house, I heard a "pop" and car died. Not sure if it was a carb backfire or something else. Coasted down the road and into the garage. My relay board did not have a cover on it so I figured something got wet and caused the unilite module to pop. Ordered a new module and installed it. Still no start. Tested the module and it tested as good. I then swapped out the relay and then the relay board and same result. Turn key, starter turns, but no start. Fuel pump is working. Coil tests OK at 3.5ohm across (+) and (-) Fuses on relay board and under dash are all good. What else should I check?

Do you have 12v at the coil? Have you confirmed that you are not getting spark?
