Default well im on the fence

Im thinking of going to a distributorless ignition system.
more power no moving parts no parts to wear (only the plugs).

That looks pretty good Dawg! Have you read any reviews on it?

i wouldnt go with i personally. seems like a Nice setup! But you are at there mercy wen it comes to replacement parts. and with businesses closing daily. say if they go out of business in 3 years. and 4 years you kill the coil or the hall effect sensor in that "distributor" then what do you do? i say go with a tried and true setup from mallory or MSD or even Accell has a dis setup.

I'd say try it out, and if you do run into issues and cant get parts down the road, or dont like it, then just throw in the ol' cap and rotor. Who knows, maybe youll love it. Then again, it could be the biggest pile of junk ever made haha Its your money
