I just put in the same distributor and it was like a new motor. My old distributor was shot; bushings were gone.

I am finally getting the performance that I expected. The only problem is that the car does not hook up in first or 2nd gear now. I am also using a 6AL box.

Like the others have said... you'll love it... great ignition set up... I've run it for just about 3 years.

Good luck with the swap! :cool:

I just did this exact same install last week and it runs great. First time the
car ever broke loose shifting into second gear. Hardest part was deciding where to mount the 6AL box.

Have fun.
