summit one, I want to try one myself.

On ebay though I hear skip white or white performance has a good hei unit all new and cheap, they even have msd ones too I think.
My dad just got one of those white performance HEI's for his pickup and he said it works great! Very good quality.

Irish.....I have a brand new TSP with cap, rotor and 65,000 coil. I'm never going to use it. I bought it for my BBC, and got ahead of my self, the intake I'm going to run, a big head distributor won't fit. So if you want it LMK $50.00 + shipping and it's yours.

I know right, that's what I'd be doing watching it spark and spin.

How do you entertain a car guy? Give him a clear distributor cap. LOL

Good to hear another good review on skip white, gonna have to talk dad into one for his.

He's had it on his pickup for about a year now, I remember him telling me about it on the phone. It was ridiculously cheap, like 20 bucks on ebay and it works great!

yea I just went and checked them out, like $39.50 for one 65,000 coil and clear cap, adjustable vac. adv. and they had reg. ones with lifetime warranty for like $38.50 and another w/ 3 year for $37.50. They even had one with lifetime and a set of accel ferro or whatever 300+ wires for like $90 Definately gonna call dad up tomorrow and tell him about that. they got em for new style now, I bought mine last year for my 88, cost over $100 at autozone, they got it for $53 and shipping is like $10. I almost crapped my pants.

Just shot a PM to Clean to get this bad boy in the mail! Now when I pop the hood you will see a bunch of old ******** surrounding a tricked out distributor!

I have one of those distributors in my 85 and i couldn`t wait til it got dark out so i can look at the sparks through the cap...Well....Lets just say i was not impressed with the light show.

But i`ve had it for about three years with no problems at all.
