The distributor from Chandler Motor Sports sounds too good to be true.

I know. That's what has me suspicious.
I just don't see much in the way of specs...

I mean if the more expensive stuff had specs that translated into better reliability, power, economy, something it would not be such a dilemma. It's not like these things are that "complicated" - computer wise, There's not that many moving parts. It's all sort of the same stuff..

First the 2 HEI dist.'s are just that a stock HEI dist . The same thing you would have gotten when you bought a new Pontiac in 1975. The other 2 are Brand name complete elec. ign. dist's. The stock HEI dist are very large & can't be used with many aftermarket intakes, because they are so big. If you go with the Pertronics unit you will use your stock points dist. You don't have to buy new weights & springs unless you want to. It will work with your stock parts. You will buy new springs & weights if your going to tune it in much better. Buying a new cap & rotor is always a good idea when your tuning up a car at any time. You can wire the Pert. unit into your stock wires coming from your stock harness as it has the resistance wire built into the harness. You can also just use a switched 12 volt wire in your harness to give the full 12 volts , some say it's better to use the 12 volts , but , I have had mine wired into my stock coil wiring for 30 + years with no problem at all. Now as far as the coil I would use the Pert. flame thrower coil just so you have a new coil. For the best usage & reliability use the Pert. unit & coil for the $ 120.00 with your stock dist & it will look stock & work great.

I would give them a call tomorrow if I were you. Maybe it's a discontinued series because some their others are $400-500.

I posted this before I saw rex73gto's post.

No problem. Thanks guys.

I received the distributor from Andre. The weights and springs were on the unit. I do not know how to tell the condition. They look fine to me, But if new weights and springs will help, I'll go ahead and get them.

My engine builder is going to help me with the start up and break in so I just want to make sure I have everything I need to make sure we have a smooth run.

At long last I have returned!!

It's been a few years since I have been able to work on the Pontiac and finally I think we're ready to ramp up the project again.

I'm hoping to be able to share our progress and continue to ask stupid questions as I go.

I have my guy coming by tomorrow to give me an estimate on the bodywork and paint.

Keeping my fingers crossed that we can finally get this project finished within the year!
