What distributor should I go with?
Well after pulling the old distributor (unknow name) out of my 81 and fould the magnetic pickup is shot, the rest of the distributor is in good shape. Is there rebuild kits to replace the magnetic pickup or should I just go buy a new distributor? If so what are some good suggestions. I currently have the magnetic pickup distrib with coil in cap and an MSD 6a box. I would like to stay with the magnetic pickup as that is the way it is set up now with the MSD. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If it were mine I would just replace the pickup coil, they only cost about 15 bucks. You will need to pull the distributor to change it.
Edit: I didn;'t read your post well enough. Unknown brand? Don't know what to say about that. You would think a Mfr's name would be on there somplace. I know parts for the Delco HEI's are readily available and most auto parts stores.
