dizzy
I have this one too over 5000 miles not even a hicup
I also bought a new E-bay HEI with tach drive, Dragonfire - about $100
I decided to inspect it first, and glad I did found some pickup wires stuck,
under the Heat sink module, fixed that, and it runs like a top after install,
and it uses standard GM parts incase I need them, later down the road.
here is a link to a similar Dist:

I took your advice Paul74 and rebuilt the damaged distributor. I have several old/used HEI distributors (none are tach drive) so I dismantled them, drilled out the spring pins installed (pressed them in and welded them) in my tach drive shaft, replaced the rotor, module plug and will have the dizzy back in the car in the morning. Wish me luck!

Hey everybody... Lots of great info here, but I really need to know something more specific. Has anyone used either of these particular products, and if so, how did it go for you?
