I bought a Skip White about three years ago(it was called the "Ready to Run"). I have a tired 350. The simple HEI is a good upgrade. Spend your money on wires! Wires are important! All things equal, and especially for a stock type engine, you can use the cheaper distributors and be fine. I'm of the opinion that the basic swap out HEI distributors have reached appliance status. Again all things equal, they are a straight plug and play and you will burn the fuel.

Also, I should have mentioned, the "Ready to Run" is designed to run with an external coil. This distributor is designed to look like an original and resolves any firewall clearance issues. Just google Skip White ready to run and you can see it.
