Failing Ignition Modules

I had a bolt thru the hole and a ground wire running to the frame so it was grounded and hooked up properly. Just not mounted to a heat sink. It has all new wiring that came with the kit. There is no old wiring in the ignition circuit.
I am debating on just upgrading to a Mallory or MSD style unit with a matching coil. I need to get this figured out so I can get her back on the road and then move onto my next project of getting my Hilborn to work on it.
