Duraspark or aftermarket ignition???

[dbevans2249]

I am running a modified Duraspark built by Ignition Engineering with the GM HEI Module and Pertronix Flamethrower Coil. It works great and I can carry a spare module in my shirt pocket though I have never needed the spare. Ignition Engineering builds better Distributors than factory or aftermarket IMO.

I had procomp single wire HEI dizzy, and loved it. Pertronix caused me headaches too many times, and the Duraspark ran great, unless it was summertime. I had to pour too many adult COLD beverages on the box to cool it down for restart

I bought a 55.00 ebay special and it fired right up%) I use Duraspark on my Bronco .

You happen to be able to post a link to the item if there are others like it going?

I like the Duraspark hooked to a 6AL, been running it for years with no issues. Had nothing but bad luck with the pertronix in my stang.

I took out my Pertronix and put in a set of stock points. These now control the MSD 6AL box. The points are a switch and do not carry the high current and last forever. The MSD does the work. If the MSD poops I can switch back to points to drive home. But with the MSD you get quick starts and multiple spark hits will fire even the nastiest looking plugs. Durapsark works great too. I just had the MSD around and from experience you can't beat it.

I ran a Mallory Unilite for 20 years without any problems, when it went last summer it took me several failed attempts at HEI and/or replacing the Mallory...One even ended up with a flatbed ride home.

Now at Ransil's suggestion I picked up a Duraspark harness for about 10 bucks, and a new module and reman distributor from Advance Auto...all told it was less than 100.00. I had a core for the core charge on the dizzy.

Hooked it up with help from guys on here, set the timing and never looked back. Solid...
I keep a spare module in the back just in case...however I am not too worried.

Cheap and easy...
