HEI Module, Bad Luck or Something Else

[rmr_69c10]

So, after running just great last weekend (and the past few months), truck wouldn't start today. Narrowed it down to no spark. Turns out the previous owner's wire that fed the BAT terminal on the HEI had come lose. So, I verify I've got 12V when switched on. Then, I plugged the connector back onto the cap (It's an MSD Streetfire 8362). Still no luck. It is possible the HEI module died while cranking it over with no power? Or just bad luck on my part? Going to remove the cap & check it all out, but bad HEI module seems most likely now.
