My worst fear has come true.� I lost one of the ignition modules from out-of-business NSI and now have only single ignition.� Does anyone know if any of these modules are available from anyone?� Were they a custom designed part from NSI C or an off-the shelf item?� It appears that they took some electronic components and then totally encased them in epoxy C so repair or even seeing what's inside there is impossible.� Any help would be appreciated.� Paul

Paul, they're made by Electromotive and I think they're called HPV-1 modules and are used on race cars. More than likely your module is OK, just one of the coils has probably gone bad. They're just standard GM coils available anywhere.

I don't believe that stuff is epoxy. It is called "potting compound". It is removable
by either melting with heat or a solvent. Google is your friend.

From pouring hundreds of gallons of different potting compounds for my work, I can attest that more likely any heat or solvent that would soften/remove this compound will destroy any electronics contained in it. That is it's primary function, protection from contaminates and vibration.
