I've been stranded with the 99 dollar hei msd street fire distributor has been working great for 3 years as a daily driver, great video keep them coming

[@diveingarage]

Thank you sir! Yup gotta stay away from those cheapo units

[@miketriesmotorsports6080]

Great video, as always!

[@diveingarage]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobbyhackney988]

Great video. I’m currently running 4 white box hei distributors. One jegs, one summit, and 2 random eBay. Same Chinese parts, different suppliers. All work great

[@diveingarage]

Well I'm glad you're having better luck than me! I've had several and they've all failed. What sort of builds are you running them in? Stock or performance?

[@nathanrice1796]

If you have a 12 volt power supply, and an MSD 88981 ignition tester, you can test the module yourself.

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

Specifically that exact one the bravex brand

[@philarmbrust2626]

Do you have part # of this dist., thanks

[@joe-hp4nk]

Any distributor is good if you prepare it right.

[@terryball3064]

Chinese distributors will put your ass walking.

[@diveingarage]

Agreed!

[@joseojea565]

It’s all Chinese!

ive been using hei cheap swaps for years . carry a stock style $14 part #91012347 Speedway Motors Replacement Module . or upgrade to a $160 MSD 83647 Heat HEI Ignition Module

i rewired mine for the 4 wire set up, installed an accel performance module (plus cap/rotor/coil) and clipped the "retard" terminal off the original GM one before stashing it in the glovebox

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

I stuck a DUI cap on one and burned the module up in two days for the hell of it lol

[@diveingarage]

Oh man!! No surprise there. I've read/heard that coils and modules should be paired. What do you think?

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

@@diveingaragewith a DUI cap/coil definitely, using a DUI coil on something not meant for a DUI coil is certain doom, the only other modules that will work are Pertronix Flamethrower and Summit racing’s version!

@@diveingarage running all accel parts (4-wire module, cap/rotor, super coil) on my OEM distributor that originally had the 5 wire "retard on signal" ESC module. AC Delco plug wires and R45TS Plugs. about 12 degrees initial timing and i found that the oem weights/bushings with one medium and one light spring pulled a really nice curve with all the timing (36-38) in by 3100 RPM or so. 1984 G20 van with the 305, btw. very pleased with how it runs. aside from the edelbrock carb/alum intake the only mods have been deleting the god-forsaken emissions/ESC controls. just approaching 100k original miles so this old girl's got some good years in her yet i think
