Thanks as always guys!

Current Build:
331 Stroker Kit
Brodix KC ST 5.0 R aluminum heads(Ported and Polished)
Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap Intake
Custom Cam

stock rebuilt distributor

most aftermarkets fail in a few years, where your OEM has gone likely 1xx,xxx miles reliably.

what adder has said is fairly accurate how ever not always true but the aftermarket parts dont always get tested quite as well as we would like. my 95 has had the cheap msd replacement in it for 45,000 miles. but also on that note it looks no different then the stock other then the MSD sticker...

stock distributor works best, no need for aftermarket
