Not dependable for important automotive jobs

This distributor is not worth the investment .It has caused nothing but headaches while performing simple ignition jobs on cars. The only positive is THAT it looks nice. Unfortunately, this does not make up for the fact it is not dependable. It is unreliable and not suited for important automotive jobs. Save yourself time and money and purchase a different product..

Pros
  • High-quality build for improved engine performance and longevity.
Cons
  • Some customers report difficulty with installation due to the distributor's large size.

Works on 351 Windsor

Installed on my 85 f250 I will redo the wiring later but other than that the distributor works fine. I also have the msd ignition unit, works great together. Nice thing is that msd provides a brochure with different installation methods depending on your setup, which was helpful. I recommend!

Pros
  • Ignition and Electrical
Cons
  • unreliable
