Means for mounting ignition control modules

In a vehicle having an internal combustion engine including spark plugs, a distributor adapted to transmit electrical current from an ignition coil to the spark plugs, an ignition control assembly comprising:

• a first ignition control module including circuit means for controlling electrical current from said ignition coil to said distributor,
• a redundant ignition control module including circuit means for controlling electrical current from said ignition coil to said distributor,
• means for mounting said first ignition control module and said second ignition control module in a location remote from said distributor, and
• means for alternatively providing an electrical connection between said first control module and the distributor and said redundant control module and the distributor,
• wherein said means for mounting includes a metal plate having opposite sides, one of said sides including a planar surface, said modules being supported by said surface and the other side of said plate including means for dissipating heat, said means for dissipating heat including a plurality of parallel spaced apart vanes extending from said other side.
