I see others have already said it - but chances are your cold start issues are in hte carb - not hte distributor.
I for one like a stock "points" distributor - a few of the reasons, are:
- compact size
- ease of maintenance
- cheap parts
I don't care for HEI's because of their bulk, and I have had them die on me (the magnetic pick-up) - you get no warning, then 'poof' - you can't drive.
I have never had cold start issues; I might not have a stroked motor, but a 744 cammed 400 in the dead of winter should exibit cold start issue - if there are any present; it always fired up like a champ! (It used to be my daily driver)
