old318 did you have an issue with the MP dist? I have an FBO coil/ecu & was considering one for the adjustability & I understand it is made by Mallory? who I figure has better quality control than MP does.

I have the Crane HI6s box and coil with an MSD distributor in my 68 RR. Very nice and digital with rev limiter built in. For the money I'd consider the Crane ignition over the MSD 6AL.I had problems with an MSD rev limiter on my MP distributor. MSD says it won't work properly with a hall effects style pick up. If the new 440 source distributors will fire a Crane box that would be the way to go and definately get a vacuum advance unit. You need all the timing you can get (like 52 degrees as apposed to 38) to get any MPG...(I know I said MPG!!!)

The problem I have with the MSD or Petronics stuff is that when they fail they leave your car dead on the road. With the stock MP stuff you can swap out the control box/ballast/mag trigger and be on your way.
true dat

Oh yes, I bought the MP small block kit from Glendora Dodge. Talk about a flawed kit.
First, the pickup coil and reluctor did not line up at all (vertically)..this caused the misallinged cylinders to misfire intermittantly.. and no amountof turning the allen wrench did anything.
I replaced with Standard motor Products Blue Streak parts reluctor and pickup coil rotor and cap... and that fixed it.
Second, the "advance" unit which is suppose to be adjustable,was not at all... no amount of turning the allen wrench did anything.
So my advance was something like 58 degrees Which I think their instruction book says is OK in reality you want no more than 35 degrees on any street mopar (racers maybe different)
So I got it overhauled by FBO- its great now! (overhaul means rephased and recurved...)
You can get the MP distributor, but I would send it to Don at FBO with your specs, engine size, carb size, etc......
I was very glad I did this.. His e-book "Tuning to win" is a great read on the subject.
Best of luck to you!
