Best Street Distributors

[Dodge Freak]

Is there a Mallory "Unilite" available for the application? If so use one. I really like the simplicity of those distributors. Shutter wheel and a light. Simple triggering method. Ran them in many strong runner street/strip engines.

Yes there is and theres a conversion kit to change the cap to a male post hei cap but then I'm looking at $300 total...darn gas wasn't so high I be more willing to go for it.

I am rough with my cars, not always but have been know to jump over railroad tracks--not like the Duke Boys but I don't baby my baby

I'm with Bigjoe on the matter of pro comp Although I.ve not had anything to do with their heads,a lot if not all of their cheap??? knock off inferior products that I've been unfortunate enough to be involved with or seen either failed,didn't work properly or didn't fit Therefore we avoid their stuff.

I did start to use the Pertronics billet distributors , and so far I have not had any problems at all. They do not require any box ( extra cost ) and they have a two wire hook up( very easy ) They cost about 100 dollars less than an MSD, so this is what I am putting in all my street engines from now on.

Hmm, that is nice you can run them like points with no box and their web site claim they can fire most CD boxes but my Mopar dist Summit is showing it cost $260..which is $30 more than Msd but then if my box gets sick, I can still run the dist--with the right coil--while the box is sent for repair. Mallory Unilight can be run like points to but I would need to change the cap to a male post...Pertronics comes with either type of cap plus claims to fire the plugs--with no box--stronger at higher rpms.

Since I can not decide between Mallory or Msd...maybe I go with Pertronics...they look pretty too

There was a thread here a few weeks ago about dist. & boxes and many ppl liked Crane over others.

i have has zero returns with the Pertronix and the Mallory 85 series HEI..

kudos for pertronix...great piece and a great value.they also have standard cap distributors-we just remove the vacuum advance most of the time...

Well the non vacuum advance models were not in stock plus they were $33 more than MSD...I went with MSD...I know if I ever decide to sell it on E-bay, I would get the most bids for it and lose less cash on it.

I take a good look at it before installing it...and remove the heavy advance springs...if it looks well made..and has no "made in China" sticker on it...I keep it and see how it is...any problems its under warnt. for a year and when it comes back, it be on E-bay for sale, lol.
