I've been getting mine at Radio Shack for years for my ignition modules and it always looked like this.

I need some more but went to two different Radio Shack's and couldn't find any This is what they sell now.

Here's the back of the package.

I hope it works as good as the stuff I had been buying. I haven't opened the package yet in case anyone thinks I should return it.

Looks liek an imitation arctic silver paste. supposed to be more thermally conductive. should be fine tho.
I have a tube that is about 15 years old, a larger one, built a couple dozen pc's, fixed more, did who knows how many ignition modules out of one tube and it;s sitll 80% filled. less is more, you don;t need much!

exactly. having the distributor location where it mounts very clean and the bottom of the module very clean are very important as well as using a small amount of the goo. I sand the distributor with 2000 grit to get rid of any oxidation first to make a good clean connection for heat removal.

I would say that it is a better newer faster compound.
