Hi All,
Looking to install a CRT distributor on a 1970 Corvette LT1 engine. Anyone have experience installing this distributor, and if so and thoughts or comments?

$99.00. Fascinating. That was one expensive MSD Tach Drive I bought 20 years ago
I've deleted the tach drive, locked it out, and use it with EFI, and electric tach now.....it's a good thing that time goes by..... 
I cannot imagine you can go wrong with that for 99 bucks...and you don't need an ignition box to go with it I imagine? And it comes with Tach Drive AND Vacuum Advance?!?!?

$99 is scarey. Most likely the internals are junk, but who knows.Originally Posted by Thnksdad

Just typing here without much forethought. I like the combination of a tach drive feature with the lighter weight of an aluminum housing. But, I still prefer the easier packaging of the older small cap distributors. I'd sure like to figure out a "cheap" way to get all three features (aluminum body, tach drive, small cap).

Maybe just use a new TI amp instead?
I forgot. That is what Tim is running.
