I have installed a lot of those things for years with no problem until this one tractor 444 international, I put one in ran like a champ for about and hour and died, took one out of my 240 that had been in there 20 years and put that in there same deal about an hour later it died. Called Petronix they sent me a replacement for the new one and the old one I lost. Here is how the conversation went after I explained to the fellow what happened he asked " what kind of spark plug wires are you using" I told him I was using factory wire on the 444 and I was not sure about my 240 because I had not looked at it for so long as no problems. He says" I'll bet you are running carbon fiber type wires on your 240, we have been having trouble with old factory metal core wires because they get cracks in them and "leak" and burn up the modules. I told him that no where in the instructions did it tell the buyer to use new style automotive wires. He said your right thats why I am sending you 2 replacements instead of one. Now I do not know or understand anything about what a leaky wire will do but I went and found a set of NOS wires for an old Ford Pinto and used them and the problem stopped and I did have a set of carbon fiber on my old 240 that has been used for a long time with petronix without a hiccup. Maybe someone on here can explain the leaky spark plug wire thing
