I am thinking about purchasing a MSD Drop-in distributor for my 94 cobra and I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with them.

I have went through two crappy Autozone rebuilt distributors, and now a rebuilt motorcraft one is giving me issues after a year and a couple months.

What is the quality of the electronics and mechanical parts like on the MSD? Also I have heard some issues with the MSD cam gear with aftermarket cams, is this a major concern? Should I just put a aftermarket cam gear on it before I put it in?

I would NEVER run an MSD distributor in my car.

What distributor would you guys recommend? Is the accel one any good?

I think Autozone anything is just terrible quality. One was bad right off the bat and the second one the electronics failed. In the reman motorcraft one I have now when it warms up at higher rpm it just hits a wall and won't go anymore. It is getting progressively worse because last week I got on it and it hit a wall at like 3,500.

Do you know where to get new motorcraft ones from? May just go that route or get another replacement one from Kragen since they have a limited lifetime warranty.

Actually, many members over on SN95forums have had good luck with Napa reman's. I'd like to get one myself, just because im beginning to think the bearings are shot in mine
