I pulled it out returned it and went with the MP kit and it fired right up. I would not waste my time or money with them again, spend a little more and get a good one. Matt

I didn't use the orange box that came in the kit and used an older factory one that I had. If I pull it out I doubt any of you can tell its not a factory part. It was identical to a 400 distributor I had planned on using. I got mine from Summit... ...FAFO...

When we see a proform HEI distributor with it's "original RED module" in it, We change it out to prevent "PROBLEMS". The rest of the unit seems Ok the electrical portion uhh ?????? www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

This kit dropped to $110 a few months back on Amazon so I bought it for the distributor since the kit price was less than I was going to pay for a new distributor. I had the distributor completely apart to weld up the advance slots and I would place the fit and finish on par with the old MP distributors. The pickup wires are a little cheesy with a glob of silicone for strain relief. I will probably eventually replace the pickup with a BWD or Standard unit.
