Default Bad ignition module symptoms??

What are the symptoms of a bad ignition module in a 500efi?

Anyone know the correct part number? Was looking on line and there appear to be a few different ones. It would be going on whippled 500efis.

I believe (but don’t quote me) the AcDelco is this:

Remove old grease from pad module is mounted tooUse thermal paste, not the improper dielectric grease that comes with them. Put on extremely thin.
