Just as I thought, the advance is not working & the original grease is all gummed up. Need to take apart the shaft clean, grease & reassemble.

If the advance kits are for a SBC, those will work.

It's always good to have an extra module just in case. Stock one works the same.
I used to go to junkyards just to have spares.
Accel super coil ,good.

Any cap with brass terminals are usually better than stock.
Accel products are usually OK, but there are better IMO.
