I am reloacting them on the engine. I knew that the 2nd module was a spare. As I inspected them further I discovered that they are different. One module is P#4E26A V8-HP (not used) and the other one I was currently using P#6A05A V6-14.
What gives....? I wonder if it is some timing issue (retard while starting or high rpm retard?? This seems odd to me.

The V-6 module will give you a 14* advance when used on a V-6 engine. When used on a V-8 it will give you much less. (8 to 10 degrees); and yes, they are popular on blower blower motors and others running a lower basic compression ratio that allows starting at an initial high timing setting. The V-8 HP is probably a better choice for a naturally aspirated "spiced-up" V-8 with a compression ratio of anything over 9.5:1 or so. --- Jer
