Default Re: Ignition Module (premiervette)

What is wrong with the GM part? If you think an aftermarket ignition module is going to provide a hotter spark, then you are a victim of advertising or misinformation. To the spark coil, the ignition module is a power transistor that switches 12 volts to the primary for a short duration to generate a spark.
The aftermarket ignition modules also use a power transistor to switch 12 volts to the primary of the spark coil for a short duration to generate a spark. There is no difference between a 12 volt pulse from a GM or an aftermarket ignition module.

The stock one is perfect until you significantly modify the intake.

You have to get to high rpms before the HEI system really starts falling off.
