transistor ignition module maybe?

ok update, i found the problem... on the right side of the ballast resistor there is the rubber hood covering a wire around a nut, well somehow this wire was touching just by a hair and any movement would break the contact, and i guess with me fooling around in the engine compartment near it would set it back, so i started it up and tested this theory by thumping/tugging the wire and every time it would cut the engine off, so i set it back in place and i ran it tonight around for about 30 minutes and it never died once i set it back.. tomorrow night im going to bring some wire strippers with me to cut back on the wire some to run it under that nut, it also probably helped i used some CRC electrical cleaner on every connection i could find! thanks for everyone and their advice!

FWIW, that shouldn't be a "wire around a nut" but an insulated ring terminal that seats under the nut...

Yeah, that sounds painful, esp to an electrical guy like me.
