Default HEI ignition conversion

Here is the link:
Dirt cheap Ignition

Has anyone here done this? If so, do you have any pictures of the install?

I'm thinking this would be a good/cheap solution for me if my factory ignition is shot.

Any opinions on this?

Why? My 24-year-old Duraspark may be part of the issues I'm having with this car. The HEI module is no more than $20 for the non-value brand. Sure as hell beats paying $200 plus for a 6AL when I'm running a motor that doesn't require it.
