Review on πŸ”₯ High Performance Ignition Module for GM HEI 4 Pin - ACCEL 35361 by Adam Nelson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bad thermal paste causes overheating

I've heard a lot of good things about this module. I installed it and within 20 minutes it overheated and my car stalled. In my opinion, the supplied thermal paste is bad and/or not enough. GM modules have twice the fat and a much thicker consistency. I'll try again and this time I'll use my own thermal paste and give it more stars if it works. For such high power electronics, Accel needs to supply much better thermal paste, which is SO important for these HEI modules. Even if you have enough, bad thermal paste won't last more than a year or two. High quality thermal paste can last 8 years. When you buy this module, please buy good quality thermal compound yourself! Follow up, I used my own quality thermal paste as far as it works well.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Nothing
