Anybody running one of these?
Scored this for my current build the other day. Wondering if anyone else is running one and how they like it. Previously I'd been using a factory HEI unit from a late 70's truck. Thanks!

Re: Anybody running one of these?
I had one in my truck before and I loved it, never had a problem with it till after I rewired my truck with the ezwiring and went to test everything it fried the module inside of two of them. but I wouldnt hesitate on putting another one in my truck. the one good thing about those are no bulky coil and cap on it like the HEI

Re: Anybody running one of these?
good distributor, sold a lot of those when I worked at SuperShops.
![]() Big this is to make absolutely sure that your wiring is good and at the correct voltage, if all of that is solid, you shoult never have a problem with it. However, I suggest having a spare module in the truck. I run a unilte and have never had any issues (7 years)... |
