Any thoughts on Progression Ignition Distributors? Pricey, but lots of control and features.

I'd try one of those on a street car if I didn't have EFI. For a race car I'd stick with the MSD billet but for a street car I'd want vacuum advance. The PID setup looks good to me. Another option is the MSD ready to run distributors also but they still use an analog type curve using springs and weights. The PID setup is all digital.

Which block, B or R/B?
What application and ignition being used?
I like to use a stock looking aluminum Mopar factory with vacuum advance recurved by me, especially on street and strip cars to make most folks looking think whistling It be stock, honest whistling



B Block. Street/Strip, need to buy a whole ignition.


For street use I'd want vacuum advance. So that sends you to either PID or the MSD ready to run. I think the PID setup might be better but I've never used it. You could call them and see what they say. It is an integrated system so you don't need an external box. Same with the ready to run from MSD.

I had been running a factory unit I recurved myself for over a decade. Worked great 👍, but I used JB weld to limit my mechanical advance stops (before I had a welder) and the jb weld started cracking a coming loose. So, I finally broke down ad bit he MSD Bullet. I'm happy with the MSD so far, but only been running it for a week tho. They've gone way up in price recently.. but with MSD's proven track record I figured it was worth the investment. The Pro billet distributor is definitely a quality piece.

You might want to consider an Australian made ICE distributor and even one of their ignition boxes. The quality of MSD equipment has done down hill, but the Aussie's still make great quality.

I bought an ICE system for a 500 Cadillac engine over 10-years ago and now only buy ICE when I need something new.
