I'm just going to replace it rather than messing around with a cheap $100 distributor. Looking for options of a higher quality that is a direct plug and play.

Don't forget the oem dist is one part, don't forget knock sensor and ignition retard / advance via the est module.
Running the std system will give a high cruise advance and economy, I would not mess with one part unless you know what you are doing?
The stock hei distributors should be cheap and plentiful, my 85 dist is still going great no shaft wear. Orig pick up, only ever replaced the module once (upgrade) and a melonised gear for hyd roller cam. Very reliable in my case 170,000 miles never a problem, give it another try
