Ok I need to buy a new distributor for my 1973 350 non A/C coupe. It needs to have the mechanical tach drive as well. What do you guys recommend? Single points, dual points, ignition boxes? What brands are the best? I really know nothing about distributors so I need your helps guys with this one!

Thanks,

Michael.

i just got the msd billet tach drive distributor and msd 6a box and i love it money well spent...tach works perfect too.

Totally agree MSD pro billet with mech tach drive worked for me.... :flag

MSD, but a little pricey.

I have an ACCEL dual point tach drive distributor for sale in the C3 parts section, and I am located in Toronto!!
Buy mine! Buy mine!

Do you "need" a new distributor or "want" a different distributor. Lars rebuilt mine and recurved it for me. The shaft was shot among other problems. I don't have a heavily modified engine and the Lars rebuild was exactly what I needed. Performance is greatly improved.

Lars rebuilt mine as well. Very Happy :yesnod: with the recurve and she runs great. A lot cheaper than an MSD setup

I have to agree with pats406 msd tach drive the only way to fly :yesnod:

MSD PRO BILLET IS WHAT I HAD IN MINE ALONG WITH MSD 7 AL2 INGITION BOX AND MSD HVC PRO POWER COIL IT ALL WORKED GREAT FOR MY APPLICATION AND WAS AN EASY INSTALLATION :cheers: GREAT PRODUCT RATING FROM ME :cheers:

Pointless distributor is the way to go. :yesnod:

I have a Mallory Unilite (Summit part# MAA-3864501) pointless distributor with tach dive and adjustable mechanical advance only. It is real easy to set up and seems to work well. I've heard some complaints about them on the Forum, but so far-so good. It cost like $370, but it was on the car when I bought it. Looks trick!

Thanks for the great advice guys. 1 more question, do I need to have the MSD ignition box with the MSD distributor, or will it work without it?

I have the GM HEI unit installed on my 73 BB it works perfect, One minor problem no Tach. " do you really need a tach" I have an extra HEI unit I can trade you for your stock 73 distributor, If interested let me know I am also in Toronto

the tach drive distributor has to be used with an msd box msd 6a ...msd6al...

MSD Tach Drive Billet Distributer and MSD 6AL with Rev Limiter PLUS MSD Cockpit adjustable timing module. WAY COOL.
