I keep spares in the trailer. I learned the hard way. If you have a good one on the car, buy. New one. Try the new one to make certain it is good, put either that new one, or your old good one in the trailer for a spare. Same with your ignition coils and crank trigger. Always have a know good one in the trailer.

Ken,
Thanks for the heads up.
Did not realize they are having issues.
I must have gotten lucky.

JD was released(resigned) after over twenty years when new ownership took over. Service has gone bad to worst since.

Who makes a comparable ignition box with good service ?

7 years ago I sent 3 boxes back. 2 came back tagged unrepairable. Aren't they the OE maker. Then how are they unrepairable?

If the box is "potted" they are non serviceable... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potting_(electronics)
