OK cool, thanks. It wasn't clear to me the MP ones are different.

Yes I'm planning to use the truck dizzy.

This kit. Doesn't this make the limiter plate unnecessary?

Forgot to ask, now that we know what distributor I have, does that spring and spacer kit work for it? Halifaxhops, sorry for my ignorance but I see you sell stuff - do you have an online store?

Same boat :lol:

They are so tricky, looks like OEM but not.

Taller than factory I think. Some have issues with wiper motor IIRC.

Very impressive with the programming.

The handy dandy distributor wrench sitting beside it. Kinda crudely made but helped me get it out quick :) I appreciate the offer to help and advice from others. My armchair perspective so far (could be way off): Mopar boxes - OK but keep a spare is the word on the street. GM box is tiny but...

More thoughts... hard to anticipate fitment with a big HEI dizzy, can hit intake / firewall / wiper motor. Stock dizzy is reliable and will fit. I can still do HEI. I have little doubt the factory GM is more reliable, better spark than the factory mopar units . Just need to add a rev limiter...

I’ve not had time to look up the number yet. 3755201 Lack of-ring makes me wonder if it’s not the original. Picked up the handy tool on the way home. Pulled it at twilight. Edit: looks like it is a truck 318 mid 70s to early 80s so likely original.

Thanks. I'll get a pic this evening.

This is awesome. MP Distributor Tuning Tutorial Seems I dont't need the adjuster plate with this kit to set advance.

I decided to check out the distrubutor in the military 3/4 T and was surprised. It's sat so long but inside the cap is rust free, looks quite new. This truck only shows 30k so it should have little wear. I found an article posted by Abodyjoe that will get me started with it. It's info I need...

Mopar Performance Distributor SB V8 273 318 340 360 | eBay Almost fooled by this. It’s a Proform “licensed” by Mopar. I look for value in every purchase. I don’t doubt MSD can work fine. Twice the price. I kinda doubt there’s double the value. If I believed it I’d pay. I might undervalue my...

So he's saying ask the sellers which is right? Hmmm. Last time I spoke to Summit their info was crap. I bet Trailbeast knows.

Here's one from an 83 Cordoba. I appreciate the help but I think I'll be buying something. Lots of options. Too many.

I must be getting old or short. That pretty much went right over my head.

Looking at the GM style distributor. Big but actually clean with ECU and coil in distributor. Wouldn't be a big deal to me to do a tidy firewall mod. Thoughts?

I intend to learn how to set it up myself, so adjustability is important. I see factory Chrysler units, and mopar performance units. Same thing? I'll check out the 4secondsflat rev limiter. Is Pertronix having issues?

I think I'd have to replace all the rusty parts!

I also have a 76 military 3/4 ton with 318, (30,000 miles) that I could scavenge from if that's a good choice. I'll bump this until they see it :)

I have a mopar one with tag 4145753. But its got dual pickups which seems odd. Google says its mid 80s vintage. Its so rusty I'd rather not use it anyway. I know there are a few variants with different curves etc but not sure how to choose. I plan to get one with vacuum advance, not sure it will...

On the Demons, would be nice to slow it down.

Should be very cool on a Demon.

The graph is nice. I'm learning from this.

This question comes up every so often. I keep adding them to my collection for the day when I need it. I like Matt's overview which provides the historical perspective. Next question is, what's the most cost effective way to add a rev limiter? To make it more specific, start with the factory...

So easy to do when there is power available. My thinking is inclusion of a rev limiter is a no brainer.

Not that bad considering what it does. No ignition controller box to buy.
