Right,
The factory modules had the circuitry in them robust enough to withstand being left on for a reasonable amount of time. But rest assured they too will get hot .
This new stuff replacement modules lack the circuitry that made the original modules from the oem's the darlings that they were. The Dwell control circuit and the current limiting circuit immediately come to mind. Cheaper to manufacture and cut those corners they figure I guess. Plus I'd bet heavily on the fact that once the OEM 's get a design nailed down they're satisfied with, they patent it and it becomes increasingly hard as hell to invent a better mousetrap without stepping on those toes.
About halfway through testing HEI modules now anyway. Found quite a few pieces of hot steaming... and so far have 2 new ones I like.
As the points supply dries up the quality of the new ones is gonna leave you frantically searching for an alternative there also Cliff. No taster if if but most certainly when. And those wonderful napa cs89's everyone was liking a year ago...
Go buy a new set now that Standard bought out Echlin and you will soon find out that at approx 4100 rpm you will end up with a lot of Vince that the same points didn't exhibit last year.
Buyer beware.
