aftermarket distributors...HEI
What do you guys think about HEI replacement distributors? Which ones do you like, suggest? I'm looking to replace my stock distributor with something new, as I don't feel like rebuilding/messing with mine, and I think now is a good time to address the issue.
Also, when replacing, is it pretty much a simple swap out-swap in deal? Or is there something else I should be looking for? Lastly, on my old manifold, there is this little metal cylinder that has a wire going from it to the distributor. What is this? Does it need to be part of the swap? Will it be replaced by the new distributor?
Thanks!

I use a 50000 Volt HEI distributor from PROFORM and I'm very happy with it! The price and performance is right!!!!

You can't hardly go wrong with a Proform HEI. They're probably one of the best values out there.
Get one of those and hit Lars for one of his curve kits. Follow the instructions and you're good to go.
