If you have a factory Duraspark II distributor laying around then it is just as or better than most aftermarket distributors. The only reason to go aftermarket is for additional features.

Plus the reliability and durability makes it better than most, and you can really fine tune them to meet your needs. Even the MSD units don't have any additional features unless you want to go HEI or dual box.
