Ignition control module is in the HEI distributor. Under the rotor and weights. It's got 2 wires going to each end.

Looks a little like a domino with electrical connections on each end.

i'm still having this rough idle problem, ive replaced all of the cracked vacuum lines, ran carb cleaner through the tank several times, oil change, fuel filter, complete tune up, everything i can think of. still runs rough. what am i missing? could there be a burnt valve or something else that causes the surge at idle? i'm stumped.
