My Carquest Duraspark module died over the weekend, only O'Reilly's was open so I bought a new one to get it moving (it moved for about an hour and then it died too) So I got the better one with a lifetime warrenty the second time (wasn't for sure what was wrong or I would have the first time)
Then on a whim I inquired and my Carquest still had 6 months left on the warrenty so now I have a spare to keep under the seat.
Dad says parts store one gave him fits on his F-350 until he paid Ford a couple hundred bucks for a Motorcraft one. You can get them on the internet cheaper but something like that I don't want to because of difficulty to warrenty if it did mess up.
While trying to find how to check a module I found this:

Seems almost too good to be true, has anyone tried it?
Don't have to buy a new dizzy, everything stays stock looking and if the module dies you walk over to a tree and pick a new one... almost.
