Dodge Slant 6 Tri-Power Distributor
Not cheap, ant results?
 
No idea what you are referring to........Is this a new product? Link? Model/ Brand/ part no.?
 
What I want to know is, how can a distributor be "Tri-Power"?

Seriously, I saw some talk on Facebook... one guy thought they were great, another thought they were overpriced.
 
I may be wrong but Isn't it essentially the HEI build Dan posted on slantsix.org? I built one of these following his recipe... It's over here with a link to his original... Mine didn't cost that much!... I already had a non points distributor on the engine though... Maybe theirs is better (shrug)... Though mine maybe just as good if I ever get to painting over that GM logo...
 
My own opinion. I wouldn't waste my money. Biggest problem I see, is the lack of vacuum advance. On a race car, that is not an issue, but would you really want to throw fuel mileage out the window on a street driver?
 
You can do much more with 300 bucks to improve the performance of the slant six than buy a reinvention from a Chinese parts pedler.

Moparblood that is nothing more than a breakerless Mopar distributor mated to a GM 4 pin HEI. You can do all that yourself a LOT cheaper. Get yourself a slant breakerless distributor--came in 73 and later cars......and recurve it or have it recurved. There is a "limit plate" kit but I don't know if it works in slant distributors. Buy yourself a quality HEI module and hook it all up. Bypass the ballast resistor and you can even use your factory coil---at least for awhile

One of the great guys on here came up with this neat drawing of my "hen scratches"

BY THE WAY what are you working on as you neglected to mention. MAYBE you already have a breakerless distributor
