Default Distributor Replacement

Looking to replace my stock 73-350 distributor with a HEI unit. Anyone use the Motorville HEI Tach Drive for Corvettes or have another recommendation?

That motorville piece is pretty decent ... 'specially for the $.
I sold dozens of em ... several to CF members ... sold out more than a year ago ... never a complaint. BTW ... mallory began offering a TD w/ both mech & vac advances about a year back ... it looked very nice ... don't recall P/N.

Like the other units, but price is a factor. Ordered the Motorville, remember a discussion a while back where it got positive comments. There was a setup sheet that I think I printed out.
Thanks.

Looking down the road ... cool thing about the motorville piece & those just like it ... all parts (w/ exception of shaft & crossgear) are standardized & use replacement parts like OE GM HEI.
