This has probably been addressed a few times already, but it's been quite awhile since I visited the forum.
What/who's distributor have you been running on RBs with Trick Flow cylinder heads?

Following along as well as I have Trick Flows on order. I'm hoping the stock electronic distributor fits, I have two that have been recurved with the Mr. Gasket kit and I use them to trigger a 6AL.

Yeah, I really don't see why people spend lots of extra money on an aftermarket magnetic pickup distributor that doesn't fit.
A recurved stock one with a 6AL box works 99% as good on a street car and if you're going full race a magnetic crank trigger is the way to go.

I've used a remaned stock electronic distributor, parts store reproduction electronic distributor, and now a MSD pro billet. All fit the heads fine, but I did have to do some grinding on my cast aluminum valve covers for the MSD

Thanks for the input!
I wasn't sure about clearance issues and will stick with the MP distributor I currently have unless there's a lot of grinding to do.
