I had the basic Summit one, that was around $170. Absolute junk. I bought it to replace the stock one (stock one wasn't broken, just has been in there quite awhile, so I wanted to do some preventative maintenance), and after 4-5 months, it went bad.
Summit brand is generally a Chinese knock off of the original.

Cheapo almost always = fail.
Yes, I've gotten one of the parts store replacements and they were all crap! Took me a few tries to get a good one.
Your best bet is to ask for abrand new unit, they'll have to order it but it's actually 6 bucks cheaper than a reman'd unit!
Summit brand anything is almost always garbage.

Sorry, just got around to checking this. I'm assuming it was the PIP. The issue was, when the car was under load, it would backfire like crazy from the exhaust (sounded like popcorn), and it would also stumble at steady throttle (very little load). At first I thought maybe it was pinging, backed timing back to stock, no change. Considered fuel issue, ran some tests, didn't point to anything regarding the fuel system. Swapped ignition components with a friend, until finally I threw in the stock dizzy, and the problem went away.What went bad in it?
