Money saved may buy you new tires or a better exhaust system.
I thought about that, be a good anti theft device also, but I really like the features PI built into these distributers. Besides, the only thing I need is a whole new engine, and I can still use the distributer with it.

Curtis and I installed the PI distributor in our cars several years ago and we love it. Easy to set up any number of advance curves to try out at the track and for street driving as well. This includes vacuum advance which doesn't actually need vacuum but the dist. will sense a vacuum signal if you have the hose connected to a port and then whatever curve you have stored in the dist. will be activated. A great feature for street driving verses the track.
