The designed to drive HEI bracket looks clean but I think you're better off mounting the HEI module off the engine and on a heat sink to keep it cooler. I upgraded from a Mopar Orange Box to a GM HEI system this summer and I like the HEI's ability to ignite a leaner fuel mixture. See HEI Ignition Upgrade.

I have an orange Rev-N-nator on my Duster, and I also like the rev limit feature it has.

20 years ago, Dr. Chris Jacobs in his guide to electronic ignitions said the Standard LX-101 was about as good as it got without buying one of his units. If you decide to go this route keep in mind that Standard Motor Products has two lines, the regular and the "T" series. The T series is their budget or "Thrift" line. R. I have that book. a good read. I think back then that LX was American made but now it is made in china. as far I know, Don from 4secondsflat stop making the A688 FBO module because they were made by Standard per request under his specs, but when they moved the production to China began the quality issues so he stop to produce them. Shame because they were GREAT units. Maybe my only 6 months working unit was one of those ? can't tell

And there was an intermediate model called HR688 which it was the aluminium box with an HEI module hidden inside.
