that's a good thought, although i'm just guessing he's looking to spend less money, not more.
thanks for the suggestion gus. i have looked into the firecore dist and it is cheapre then the msd and seems to be better made and the guy at firecore gives great customer service. i will have to see how many pennies i have left when it comes time to crack down and buy a distributor.to the post above about the crank trigger, i have thought about the crank trigger and it is something i want to do, but i am just focused on getting some power to the ground. ill probabley make that upgrade later. has anybody used the pro billet distributor from the guys in tennessee. they do not have a brand and it is super cheap. i know you get what you pay for, i just want to know of any experiences. i found them on ebay.
thanks for the responses guys i appreciate it.
thanks, matt

I've used the stock Mopar electronic distributors for years, no troubles and no issues I do replace the advance springs and depending on how much mechanical advance the distributor has I will shorten up the mechanical advance so I can run the idle timing at or close to 16 BTDC and end up with between 34 and 38 total BTDC, depending on the track elevation and motor I don't use the vacume advance either, I have hook up a hose to the distributor and carb. that is blocked internally when I use to play games on the street   
 Don't have much to add here. Have never run anything but modified stock distributors to 7000+ rpm. Limit the advance by adding some weld in the pin slots, light springs, lock the vacuum advance plate, good cap and rotor and you're set.

The problem I had with the "pro-billet" distributors out there that many vendors and E-bay are selling is that they wont fit with most aftermarket cylinder heads.You would have to grind the head and/or the distributor to make it fit.The OP mentioned 600 HP so I just figured he has already spent the money on heads so why buy a distributor that wont fit 
Gus
this was the reason i changed away from the MSD distributor, to remove my rocker covers i had to remove the dizzy cap first, not that it was a big problem but the amount of times i dropped the allen head screw on the ground when reinstalling started to P me off so in went the Pro Comp dizzy & now everything is [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] dory waay to easy.
