Default C4 Distributor

Got lucky on ebay last week and found this discontinued Accel performance replacement distributor for a computer controlled HEI part #51909 new in the box. The vendors that still carry this item are selling them for $300+. I was able to pick it up for $200. I am still using my original 28 year old HEI with an external coil and an MSD box and thought it was time for an upgrade. This is a billet piece that has been cnc machined. Looks like a piece of art. My car should be at least 2 tenths quicker. Willie

Not yet, doing it on the installment plan thanks to the generosity of Tim who has been so helpful.
