So I gather that both of these systems require or allow the use of the stock distributor? I dont mind buying a new distributor. I'm not against spending a few bucks if I need to. I love this car and I really want to drive it more. Reliablity problems are making the car less enjoyable.



I'm not sure about an old points style distributor, but I know you can use a stock electronic ignition distributor with either one - I've had the same basic MP replacement distributor on my Cuda while using both boxes. If I remember correctly, they can be used with points distributors too, but I'm not positive about that.

I think the biggest reliability issue that can come up with these is killing them with heat, so as long as you're not installing the box close to your exhaust, or on top of your engine, you should be fine.
