My 334 small block needs a distributor and there might be enough power in it for needing a rev limiter too ;)
I have understood the GM Performance LT4 hot cam asks for melonized gear in the distributor, should this one work? Any posseible fitment issues?

For the rev limiter, should this fit in the distributor?

MSD Digital GM High Energy Modules with Rev Limiters 83647​


Or should I go with a box with rev limiter?

Propably having to order stuff overseas, I would not like to go wrong...

I had one of the MSD ignition modules in my 455 powered 87 Cutlass, I was not impressed.


While the car always ran, I always felt it didn’t run as well as it should have. My suspicions were confirmed when I sold the car to my brother in law, he promptly gutted it to basically turn it into a race car. It pained me to tear out the functioning A/C, cruise, overdrive transmissions, all the stuff I lovingly repaired.

Anyway, that module came out, and a MSD6AL box went in so he could use a Nitrous’s controller. The car suddenly ran much stronger, at that point nothing had changed to the engine yet other than the ignition.

Maybe I got a bad module? No clue. That’s my only experience with them. Given the choice, I’d go with a real ignition box.
