i went with MSD, ive never used any of the others you listed. MSD has a ready to run distributor, pretty easy to hook up. you need MSD ingnition box to run any of there distributors. Not nessasarily MSD box, But a ingintion box. Then you wiil have to run at least 8.5mm spark plug wires too. It cost all together about $700 to $800. Hope this helps, Bob.

I've used both the Performance Distributors DUI and Pertronix Flamethrower II distributor. The Pertronix is reasonably priced and you can run it a stand alone or add an ignition box.

Hi Bobby,
You can create your own thread if you have any questions, also try using lower case, I know you are not, but by using capital letters, (UPPERCASE), or oversized fonts most likely will make the reader feel they are being shouted at.
