good used 70's OE dist, dial in the total (slots) with the FBO $22 plate, the springs, a cap with brass terminals/ribs, check rotor phasing, reduce rotor to cap terminal clearance to 0.015". reduce lower shaft axial play to .005". all this is easier than it sounds. A '75 up OE black HEI module from a junkyard. An Accell super coil, the big yellow beast or a full 12V coil such as the CFD478 at rockauto ($16.02). I cant say it would top a capacitive discharge setup but it runs flawless for me & was cheap.

I love the Rev-n-ator. Had it on my 410 stroker for about two months now and love it. It was recommended to me on Moparts and I'm glad I listened now. I like the ability to have a stock look too.

Thanks for the replies so far. I really don't care to spend the money. I want the best of the best with reliability in mind.

iagree The MSD Ready-to-Run has adjustable mechanical advance and it's one-piece...no need for additional boxes.

My biggest issue with after market systems is the availability of parts if needed quickly and the cost. twocents

We have been running a Mopar electronic distributor and chrome box for many years in my RR with a built wedge motor. I also have run an MSD but came back to the Mopar setup as the car ran/started better with it. I just sold the MSD box on e-bagger..

Just my $0.02... wink

I converted my electronic ignition to an HEI, ran much better. If you're interested in an HEI ignition I'd check with Davis Unified Ignition (DUI), they make ready to run distributors and good HEI modules

Any magnetic or hall effect dist (or crank trigger) with advance locked out, or a 1977+ Lean Burn Dist. The MSD 6530 Programmable, Digital 6AL-2 ignition box, and a MAP sensor.

With the programmable box, you can dial in the advance curve with a laptop based on load and RPM. Easier, quicker, and more precise than messing with mechanical advance stops, springs and vacuum can adjustments.
It also has two programmable rev-limits and retard for N2O or Boost.
I haven't tried a lean burn Dist, but the choice of the two pickups may make phasing the dist easier?

OE dist (dial in the subsystems)/HEI module (dont forget the heat sink paste)/good full 12V coil. EDIT I was worried about my Rockauto made in china furd coil stranding me but it ain't missed a beat.
