Small Block Distributor Recommendation

MOPAROFFICIAL said

Get option 3, Jegs brand adjustable distributor with wire harness, ignition box and coil. Hard to beat the bang for your buck aspect.

After re reading your post ...geez , you wanna rid a part because it doesn't look factory...lol
How about you keep the better msd box and stick it up under the dash onto the inner firewall then mount a dummy stock box with foe wiring to it. As for vac advance....sacrificing a great ignition system for a possible mile or 3 gain in mileage is a bad idea. Go buy a msd ready to run distributor of you wanna do that.
Otherwise I'll trade you an entire factory setup for your msd.... if that doenst sound like a fair trade, then the entire idea of the swap you're considering should sound just as poor a decision.

Well, it's not entirely poor of a decision. I could use the 10+ year old MSD setup on my engine run stand. None of it will go to waste really. A mile or 3 gain is pretty good for a daily driver. That right there sounds promising.

@Johnny Mac You do bring up a good point there. Keep what I have for now and just save up for the Sniper. I wanted to do it right and get the gas tank and all that, but a $2,000 budget is hard to swallow. The reasons I have for a Sniper would be for better cold starts, hopefully better economy (every mile counts), and not having to worry about elevation changes when I go up to the mountains (on the rare occasions). Also good to know to steer clear from Pertronix stuff.

@autoxcuda I think he did, I can't remember if he used mine or or his own. I know he didn't use my MSD box. Also, he dyno'd it with another carb (a Holley) but that one started leaking so I slapped an Edelbrock on. I need to fix the leak and slap the Holley back on. It's only been sitting on my shelf for a year. LOL

@Mattax and @AJ/FormS How's this 2 stage work? Is it in the springs?

Thanks all, this is all good info.
