Which performance HEI Module should I buy?
I had a failing ignition module and bought a replacement. The car now starts right up and stays running. Yay! Believe it or not I now notice a difference in preformance. I did not buy an expensive replacement part. The car doesn't have the pep that it had before. I put in a Summit Coil years ago.I mention this in case it can impact my choices of modules to purchase. So which ignition module should I buy to get the pep back? I took a quick look on Ebay and saw many different brands but have no idea which one to buy. I have always liked Accel parts but doesn't mean that is the one to buy this time. I can use a little help with this. Thanks

I've had excellent results with the MSD high energy module (with rev limiter) for about 7 years with no failure. This is in a DUI HEI distributor.

I wanted to thank everyone who was kind enough to give some recommendations. I was concerned because I read an article (long ago) that cautioned mixing different manufactures coil and modules. The article basically said it will shorten the life of both parts. I do feel better after seeing good results from forum members. I am not sure which module I will buy just yet but I do look forward to getting some more power back. Thanks again.
