Performance Distributor
I am looking at getting a new distributor for my truck to help keep it running smoothly and get max possible p;erformance out of it and was wondering which brand distributor to go with. I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for the name where I could get one cheaper with same results. I have a 1994 F-150 with 5.0 and completely stock.

A new distributor isn't going to help much with power. Put headers on your truck, better exhaust, a better cam, and look into the six liter tune up.

The distributor itself has no impact whatsoever on performance so unless yours has worn bearings you're wasting your money replacing it.
