Yup, you can even reuse the OEM heatsink if you are a bit creative, I've done a couple of them with the stock coil and they're going fine.

Cant find a used one here for love or money.New ones $88.New rip off modules on fleabay for $16 to $22,wonder if they are any good or stick to bosch?PS,changed coil, still the same

I suppose a non genuine might work well, I've used one that hasn't blown up yet. Genuine on ebay is a bit cheaper than $88

NEW Genuine Bosch Ignition Module TO Suit Holden Commodore VC VH VK VL | eBay

I've always got mine from Bursons, you could try an auto electrician and see if you can get a bit off retail.

I picked up a Bosch BIM024 from supercheap auto at kotara in Newcastle, they were on the shelf, for around $30-$40

Got a module from supercheap for $29.Thats the good news.Bad news is didn't fix problem ,getting worse.Now will only start sometimes and only just runs sometimes.Got ignition checked by a repco mechanic before it totally died who said all good,must be fuel.Twice when i've started it it has cut out and tried to run backwards for a few seconds with smoke coming from air cleaner!!Will check fuel filter and pump over w end.Any more thoughts?

Dead and dying fuel pumps are common. As they draw more current as they get old they can also melt the connector plug on top of the pump housing or the harness connector above the rear muffler. Examine both carefully for blackened terminals. The pump itself is easy enough to change, get a VN Commodore in-tank pump kit and fit it to the Landy housing. You may have trouble getting the old pump off its hose, I've found that if I crush the plastic pump outlet with a block of wood or two, its easy then remove the bits. Then you clamp the hose to the new pump. You may have to change the electric plug to the pump. Bosch pump kits (BFP772) contain a spare connector and the inlet filter sock.
