Powerspark Ignition Reliability

I fitted a similar unit nearly 5 years ago just after buying the car, and haven`t really seen it since.
Mine came from `Ignition Car Parts` and is said to be made by `Ultra Spark`
I did remove the pips from the baseplate to ensure it sat flat to aid cooling.
Another good thing was that it didn`t disturb the tachometer, even though I did not give it a seperate supply.
It was just fed from the white wire to the coil as suggested by the suppliers.

I had one failure and the vendor attributed it to use of copper-core HT leads. I hadn't removed the adjustment posts from the base-plate, however, so there may have been insufficient contact between ignition module and base-plate as a heat sink. I grooved the new ignition module to accommodate the posts and replaced the leads with a set from Powerspark. I've had no problem since.
