    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Stuff I installed it and it really woke up my motor. Has allot more low end tork and runs much better at the top end. I think it was a good choice.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked perfectly I replaced a billet high performance eBay distributor with this one and WOW what a difference! I had popping thru the exhaust at about 4K rpm with the new old one and this one is smooth as glass, 10:1 comp 350 with a fairly large cam, so don't think the price of this makes it low quality it works great

    Is the cable that connects to the cap replaceable? My black connector is broken and I'd like to fix it if possible.

    Asked by: Ryan_e
    Unfortunately, we are unable to get this wire. We can only get the power leads to it.

    Is it necessary to use spacers between the gear and the aluminum shaft? I was hoping it's ready to drop in, right out of the package.
