Dealing with a Ford with the ICM on the distributor your lucky if you get 6 months out of them.heat kills them relocating the coil and icm would be ideal

Thought about doing an MSD remote ICM kit to solve this. But then the distributor isnt cheap anymore.

Great video. I’m currently running 4 white box hei distributors. One jegs, one summit, and 2 random eBay. Same Chinese parts, different suppliers. All work great

Well I'm glad you're having better luck than me! I've had several and they've all failed. What sort of builds are you running them in? Stock or performance?

I have an MSD ignition system. including the crank trigger kit. I have to do a rotor phase on the distributor, which I'm in the process of doing. I've had some of the rotors get burnt right next to the tip but the plastic. Any idea what that could be? Thanks for any information you might have.

Sounds like the rotor is too far from the cap contact? Is everything from the same kit?

If you have a 12 volt power supply, and an MSD 88981 ignition tester, you can test the module yourself.

I stuck a DUI cap on one and burned the module up in two days for the hell of it lol

Oh man!! No surprise there. I've read/heard that coils and modules should be paired. What do you think?

@@diveingaragewith a DUI cap/coil definitely, using a DUI coil on something not meant for a DUI coil is certain doom, the only other modules that will work are Pertronix Flamethrower and Summit racing’s version!

@@diveingarage running all accel parts (4-wire module, cap/rotor, super coil) on my OEM distributor that originally had the 5 wire "retard on signal" ESC module. AC Delco plug wires and R45TS Plugs. about 12 degrees initial timing and i found that the oem weights/bushings with one medium and one light spring pulled a really nice curve with all the timing (36-38) in by 3100 RPM or so. 1984 G20 van with the 305, btw. very pleased with how it runs. aside from the edelbrock carb/alum intake the only mods have been deleting the god-forsaken emissions/ESC controls. just approaching 100k original miles so this old girl's got some good years in her yet i think

ive been using hei cheap swaps for years . carry a stock style $14 part #91012347 Speedway Motors Replacement Module . or upgrade to a $160 MSD 83647 Heat HEI Ignition Module

@mintypotato777 2 ай бұрын

i rewired mine for the 4 wire set up, installed an accel performance module (plus cap/rotor/coil) and clipped the "retard" terminal off the original GM one before stashing it in the glovebox
