Don't really remember when I put it in the Elky but at least July
of last year (had to check my web site for the date - d'oh!). I suppose if
anything does go wrong with it, there's still the old reliable Accel dual point
from the GR8PMKN days before fuel injection. If any ignition problems to
occur before long, it'll be the first thing checked - thanks for the heads
up.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] HEI tune-up kits
Have you had any trouble with the unilite? I ran one for years (replaced one module). last week I was helping a friend find a distributor for his 68 f**d pickup. My buddy at the local parts house said stay away from unilite as its almost for certain within a year you will have to replace the module. Since this was in just a daily driver my friend did not want to spend $350.00 on a MSD unit. my first MSD unit cost me over $300.00 when it failed and blew out a brand new exhaust system. Why I bought another MSD unit is beyond me. I will say I have never been a fan of stock HEI units and have had my share of problems with them.
We end up buying a rebuilt distributor and installing a pertronix unit in. the total cost was just over 120.00. So I guess there are many ways one can go.
