Bought a MSD 8534 off a member here ( see Photo of what I got)

Even if the car NEVER sees water, those distributors can end up looking like that. I bought a BB one a few years ago that was, and I quote, in perfect condition just like new... Looked just like this one you got Roy. Seller had the same response...

Doesn't make this right by any means. See what the seller does, cause that's a rough looking set up regardless.
