I agree the MR gasket weights are crap. one of those actually bent from centrifugal force and my engine never goes over 3800RPM, ever.

Plus my dist had some play in the shaft so I just bought this new distributor. The guy was having a price war at the time so I got mine for $35 shipping and all.

I bought this exact distributor for my truck. Works like a charm, except the clear cap that came on mine was crap so i switched to an accel cap and its worked great for a year now. It looks real nice and feels good in your hands. This one has a black cap so it may not have the problem I had with the clear one. I'd def buy another one if I needed one. This ebay seller is EXCELLENT. Don't know em personally but have bought enough from them to recommend them to anyone. Great on the phone too.
