Fuel pressure was a steady 8 lbs. the vent is free.
Valvetrain is good. About 2/3's thru the tow I was able to get her started. Ran around a little near the dock, then put her on the trailer.
Either the module is getting hot and going on the blink, or it's a connection issue. I'm going to find a TBI distributor, and get her set-up.

Mike,
It was a brand new Merc coil.
Upon deeper inspection, I found that the module had lots of corrosion coming out from between the terminals within the connector base. I guess it's had some water intrusion.
I went and picked up a MSD 85551 (not so much an MSD fan any more but this worked), changed to a weather tight connector, locked the advance, ripped out the Merc stuff, and got her back up and running in about an hour or so. Timimg is locked at 30.
I ran her for a few hours yesterday, and no issues.
