orange box failure

Seems like a no brainer for $99 ! Would love to hear from folks with real world use, those that drive their cars regularly ...
Even less-brainer is the $45 "ready-to-run" HEI distributor on ebay (Steve White Performance). For small block, $70 for BB/RB, NA for slant. Many posts here. Also, I recall that TrailBeast dropped his $99 special for FABO members, so ~$150.
