Be carefull of those distributors as there has been mixed opinions on this forum. I am in a similar position and have been watching for a factory 73 dist. but for now I have a mallory unilite electric tach, with the factory tach cable laying on intake till I do the switch. I am going to remove points and install protronics internals so factory tach works and still have modern ignition. My original one has a broken gear and not sure if it will effect tach or gear life. Thats just my 2 cents worth.

If you really want to spend money on a new distributor and want to actually go with something that would be considered an upgrade than look for a tach-drive factory HEI unit. At least with those you get an increase in voltage and spark activity - not that you would even need it unless you have some really major modifications to your motor

Look at DUI. They tune the distributor to the specs on your engine. A plus if you are like me and want something to work well enough out of the box so you can drive it instead of spending more time in the garage.
