Better than what I had
Nothing too exciting here. It came in a well-packaged box. We installed it. My Chevy runs better.

Nice Distributor for a stock replacement
Makes $$ sense in not having to replace parts on a 44-year-old Distributor on my 1979 C20

Great Buy
I have a 1968 Chevelle that was running a points system. I purchased this distributor in attempt to relieve some frustration with timing issues. I also had to purchase "GM HEI Power & Tach Feed Wires 12" Wire Leads" for the old wiring setup and my after market tach. Ripped the motor down, set it to TDC and dropped this baby in. Started right up, and sounded beautiful. You can not beat it for the price and to get things running right.
Also, this item was delivered faster than expected. I received it a full 4 days before the expected delivery. Way to to Jegs.
