Mean Street doesn't have timing control capability, so you should run whatever distributor you like best with that system. The only thing you'll want to watch out for is a noisy tach signal. That kind of takes the mallory unilite stuff out of the equation, since it's noisy as all hell.

On one car I run a locked out Jegs 2 wire to do timing control with my Go EFI 600.

On my other car I run Easy Street 600, and a factory HEI converted for use with an MSD 6AL (no module). My tach signal to trigger the EFI comes off the MSD box, so the stock distributor magnetic pickup triggers the box. I don't know if the MSD processes or alters the original trigger signal to reshape or make it stronger. If I had an o-scope, maybe I would check it out. But it seems to work nicely.

Thanks for the tip on the noisy Unilite. I hadn't heard that. I bought his thing 100 years ago when I first started my project. It was one of the latest things ...LOL Guess I can put it up on ebay and get me an MSD billet. I wish the Mean Street did timing control. I was afraid to get the 600. My motor is pretty close to that limit. so I went with the 800. Got a good deal on it.

Do you have to worry about this if you are running a box that has the tach output ?? ANd maybe put some shielding on the tach wire ???
