I assume you a referring to the unit mounted on the cowell next to the brake
mc. These are not too bad, really. The older units integral with the
distributor were junk.
I have been using the original original cowell mounted unit on my 79 Spit
with no problem. I also installed same on a 59 Bugeye 1098 series A motor.
Really improved performance. If you are having an intermittent problem,
check the ground. The hold-down screws function as the ground. If these are
corroded they could create a problem. Replace the scres or clean with a
little Moosehead and wire brush and reattach.
BTW, I carry a spare unit in the car, just in case. I pick them up for
little or nothing when I come across them on junk cars. There seems to be
plenty around.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
