MSD is a great distributor but it is too tall. Does anyone know a good billet race distributor that is no longer than 12" including the cap? Thanks. 7185629-Cecil2009.jpg (61 downloads)

I thought the MSD was only about 11",I know the Firecore didstributors are basically the same height. The Firecore units are really nice,there are quite a few guys on here running them.

Looking for a good race distributor that is not that long - I have seen Pertronix and the offset deal from Preditor but I don't know anything about those.
