Well I screwed up my distributor trying to install a new reluctor wheel which was a piece of junk and didn't fit. I ordered a new MSD 85551 distributor but later I decided to go with a HEI so I ordered a new MSD HEI and melonized timing gear to fit. I'll just send the 85551 back and use the HEI. The only reason I used the 85551 in the first place was I had a hopped up 383 in my truck for a short while but took it back out. The 85551 was already wired in so I used it on my crate motor.
