Jeg's distributor
When compared with the stock chevy distributor, it is evident that Jeg's is more robust and the tolerance is much tighter. Take your stockdistributor and check the end play and lateral play. There is virtually none in Jeg's just enought that thengearwil notn dednhead against te cam gear. The onlything that I changed, just as a precaution that my grand son mentioned, is the control module with a genuine GMC/Chevy module. Read that some go ut after a few thousand miles. I kept the one it came with as a bak up just in case. My original distributor indicated a random miss fire that was probably caused by loose bearing/shaft play. This went away after replacing it with Jrg's
Well worth the price and swap.:)

Excellent choice
This works very well. I'd replaced two distributors, both by Cardone. The system kept blowing ignition modules. No issues with this unit. In addition, the engine idles a bit more smoothly and also has a bit more power from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm.
