AFAIK tis the heat that kills those things, when mounted on the dizzy they see lots of it. I've seen these things mounted on a big heat-sink on the firewall of some Tauri, guess that helped to keep 'em from fryingComment

vibration and heat kills all electronics... Surface mount is acutally better- since there is less mass to vibrate.

heat and electronics = bad. something else i was reading, apparently its not a good idea to use silicone di-electric grease on them like the manual says. It doesn't transfer heat effectively. The best stuff to use is actual heat sink compound like any other electronic item uses, or the stuff for a computer CPU. Makes sense to me anyway.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

btw, scott. you really need to learn how to take close up pictures. use the Macro button for close up stuff, so its not out of focus. macro button usually has a flower icon.Last edited by 88grandmarq; 01-15-2008, 08:02 PM.2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011

is that some kind of thermal paste? i wonder if it would be possible to take apart a new one and improve it before you even install it.
thx for posting this its pretty neato..Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.Comment

I wonder what would happen if you took one and epoxied the shit out of it....would that even help any?Comment

Should be. If all else fails, you can buy some at Radio Shack.Originally posted by cld783 View Post
My Duralast HEI module came with a little packet of thermal goo right in the box with it. Made life a little easier, which I appreciated.
+1 on CD's question.... heat and vibration aren't good for electronics, but if it's sealed poorly that won't help either.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
