Agreed that Mallory, Jacobs, MSD etc all make good products. But for my
money the old reliable HEI is the best. I used a Unilite for a while, it was
fine until I was 800 miles from home and the module started suffering
intermittent failures. The mechanic looked at it like it was from Mongolia
(it might as well have been), said "you won't find parts for this thing
till next week" so I replaced it with a junkyard HEI which has been
bulletproof for years. And if the module dies, I can get a replacement at
any Kmart.
