Yep. The 42 series have a small screw down cap with HEI terminals, a bolt-on plug wire retainer, a magnetic breakerless module with a magnetic pickup, a billet housing with a ball bearing shaft support, an adjustable vacuum advance that can be removed (a block off plate is included if you want to remove the VA), an adjustable centrifical advance that is infinitely adjustable from zero to 28 degrees (a selection of springs also included to change the advance rate as well as degree keys to set the amount of advance).

The only drawback compared to the MSD version is that it takes longer to adjust the centrifical advance because the advance is under the module plate. It's not difficult, just takes longer.

I ran one of the prototypes on my daily driver until I took it off to test the rev limiting billet HEI.
