UPDATE 5
I pulled my distributor - pulled the TFI off -
did a test of all the internal resistances according some info I found on the web - the all passed....
was kinda hoping it'd fail...
I can buy anew module for about $55...
Lot of money for a stab in the dark - with little evidence supporting the decisions...
On the other hand, I hear these things fail often and a new one isn't a complete waste...
But I'm having doubts that it'll fix my problem...

It's ALIVE
got it running!
Swapped out the TFI - engine fired right up.
Can't BELIEVE that was the problem. I can't imagine I did anything to kill it while fixing my headlight short - short's been there since I bought it a year ago.
??? maybe ? Either that or it was a 1 in a million coincidence.
Either way - thanks to all for your help.
bashby - I see you're in George Town WV - I'm live in Mass, but have been there many times - my uncle lives in George Town.
Small world.

Ooops - I knew that.
I always make that mistake
And it's my uncle Charlie that lives there - you'd think that'd make it easier for me to remember!
