D1928A/D1998A Questions

[Sam Profile]

A couple of questions before I pull the trigger on a purchase:

1. D1928A is suggested somewhere as the right module for a 6cyl DIS conversion, but doesn't appear to be available new - is D1998A the replacement part?
2. There seems to be a big price disparity by vendor - US$35-40 for an aftermarket module vs US$150-220 for genuine. Last time I bought an aftermarket HEI module it lasted a whole 18 months, but does anyone have any experience with these? I mean I could buy two spares and still end up ahead...

1. yes
2. probably ok, but potentially and miss. Have seen 1 fail (doa) out of a sample size of 3 personally. Have not heard of others. IMHO get 2 and have a spare if the first one works (which it probably will).

Im missing something, if i wanted to put a delco on a non gmh six why would i go overeeas for somehing I can get in au ? Why would i need a d1998a?

Far simpler trigger pattern. The rodeo v6 has the american model style but its rare at the wreckers and pricey from the oem if they have it. If you have a commodore engine stick with the aussie stuff. If your fitting to another engine use these modules or get a VL400 ignition module for more aftermarket trigger options, ref angle options and coil options.
