Have a 1998 Merc Carb'd 454 w. a TB V ignition. After many months of not running, it couldn't generate spark. Thought it was the ignition sensor but swapped that out and still no spark. So that pretty much means it's gonna be the Module. I have a green/white and a red/white wire coming out of the distributor. Can I just hook the green/white to coil negative and the red/white wire to coil positive and run it like a "normal" old school distributor? I know I'll lose timing advance and it won't run optimal, but I'm just really trying to get it running after putting it back together after a valve job. I'll buy a replacement module later.
