Are there any parts stores that can test ECU or electronic modules in distributors?

Somewhere I had/have a booklet put out by Wells that went thru how to test various stuff like that. I don't recall what all was covered, other than the pickup in a Mopar distributor, been 20+ years since I used it. FOUND IT

Did a net search. Found this http://dave78chieftain.com/Ignition_Syste.htmlI checked for 12 volts to the number one pin receptacle. Nothing. Same for number 2 pin, same result. I checked for voltage at the ballast resistor and I’m good there. Looks like it’s the harness. Just for shits and grins I went ahead and ordered one last night just in case.

What DVW said, confirm everything is getting fed in ign1 (run)/ign2 (crank), the coil pri/sec & ballast have continuity, pickup generating AC voltage & gap is acceptable/box & engine is grounded. all that is left is the box itself (& items can check OK when cold then act up when warmed up). EDIT & a terminal/connection can be loose/poor continuity.
