J, I remember you had a ride in the car. It still runs good. I always have a grin on when I'm driving! 18 with 30 years of experience.

I have a MSD billet distributor that plugs in directly to the box. It does not have vacuum advance. So it's the box, distributor, cap, wires, all told. A little expensive but it has a rev limiter too. Cheap insurance. If you listen to the video you can hear me bump the rev limiter on the second pass. Right at the top of first gear. All my stuff has had MSDs on them. You can light a smoke off the spark they provide. BTW that's the only black MSD box in existence. I asked my painter to paint it black and he masked it all off etc. I wanted to hide it. Oh well.
