HEI All in one
I've had great service from mine. ALL of the chinkesium one wire HEI distributors are THE SAME. Whether Skip White, or whatever. They all come from China and the same 12 year old probably put them together.
Changing back from the import HEI to a full Mopar system because the module failed? Seriously? That's pretty laughable when this would have fixed it.

I like them. I always have. I was around when they were first introduced in the GM car and I liked them then. It's a smart idea. Everything in one unit with cheap AVAILABLE parts to service, only required ONE WIRE to operate.
Breaking up at high RPM? I've run mine for three years. Yeah, it's in a 75 F250 that ain't a race truck, but I have done a few parking lot smoke downs at 5500 and no problem. Maybe you got a bad one. They DO have a warranty. Skip White has a lifetime warranty.
They are also easy to limit the mechanical advance. All I did was get out a grammar school protractor and made a "good guess" and drilled a small hole in the breaker plate for a screw to stop the advance mechanism. Guess what? I got it right the first time. Unusual for me, but I did. lol
Anyway, if you don't like it because it's imported, or because it's a "GM style distributor", that's just dumb. I say if you have the room, and you want something easy to work with, easy to maintain and easy to find parts for, get the Skip White unit. I don't know if they are "any better" than the rest, but they have a bigger following, plus they have good customer service and offer a lifetime warranty.
Besides, ALL of the Mopar Performance distributors are made overseas anyway, so what's the difference?
