The most likely cause is the crank sensor inside the dissy. The only other regular faults on V8s of that era are the ignition module & the coil itself. I think you said he's replaced the module already though. Plugs, leads, cap & rotor will generally cause a misfire of some type, but won't throw those codes.
The ECUs on those models is not very reliable but it normally wouldn't cause that type of fault.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Dr Terry,thank you,I did think "most" of that and said to him that nearly all the things he replaced would give"erratic performance" but not generally stop the car dead like that.Being only into old cars I thought I would post it up for you dudes!! ..thanxz heaps. |

I don't think it was very expensive to fix from memory
