Default New distributor recommendations?

I'm looking at a MSD tach drive distributor, the only problem is I want to keep the old style coil.
Are there any products out there were I can go electronic and keep my stock look?
I may rebuild my old one but by the time I buy a module/shaft/bushings/ drive gears ect. I may as well go new

What are you guys buying out there?


Cheers,Barry

Ask Lars (v8fastcars@msn.com) to rebuild your stock distributor... One of the best decisions I've made during my rebuild was to get Lars to rebuild my tach and qjet!!!
