Was having a good day until...
Ignition issues. G*d Damm!t!!
Cruising along at 3K, rpm dropped a touch followed by two rapid pops through the supercharger. The engine stalled immediately, started up but was hard to start and seemed to be missing. Limped it back to the beach, cracked open a beer to celebrate getting out regardless of the issues, and let her sit.
Twenty minutes later she won't start so I mess around with the module plug... starts up fine, seems to be running great, so head back to the dock. Running great still, turning about 3200-3300, exact same rapid fire pop through the blower, and now dead. Getting towed back by my buddy as I write this. Great.
Factory Merc Thunderbolt with V6 module and an older but new MSD 6M2 (6490). It's not the MSD, I bypassed it. Assuming the module died.
What can I replace this with tomorrow morning to be back on the water?! Delco TBI? Will that work?
I'm so f'ing pissed right now. I know I should have replaced this the last go-around.

Pretty much rules out valvetrain issues from what you described. This seems to be a common thread lately. You checked module etc grounds I assume. Distributor tight and not moving around. Be nice if you had a module you could try. Any luck yet?
