They all pretty much look the same, are there any differences I need to know about? Also, I have an MSD billet distributor - are there any clearance issues? Thanks!!

Some are not cut for breathers some have no oil baffles. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

If so your distributor will most likely have clearance issues.
