duraspark module
I have had several failures of the duraspark module on my '78 F250 with the 460 engine. I bought the truck about 3 years ago, and the module that was in it failed about 6 months later. It was a replacement, not the original. I replaced it with a module from NAPA (an Echlin, I think), and it failed after about 6 months. I replaced that one with a unit from Kragen, and it failed an about 6 months. The current module is a warranty replacement from Kragen, and it has been fine so far. I have a Pertronics Flamethrower coil on the truck and was wondering if this could cause the problem, or are these modules prone to failure? Thanks in advance for your opinions !

In my experience the Motorcraft modules are much better than the aftermarket units. They are so good that the last few I have "purchased" have come from the junkyard. I find them and bring them to the parts store for testing. So far they have all been good. I know the parts store tester works well also.
When you install a module put 1/4" high spacers under the mounting points to allow cooling air to flow under it.
