Missed your post by a second. Those appears to be overseas sourced junk conspicuously in colors similar to a good name brand. Stick with well known brand named parts, especially for ignition and you'll get many years of worry free service. I've rebuilt factory GM HEI's and typically used delco or accel parts with good success and longevity on mild performance builds. If you cannot find a factory distributor or need more performance, I also recommend MSD distributors and have had zero problems with their parts.
