I am currently running a 6AL with an HEI and I am planning the switch to an MSD distributor that plugs right into the 6AL box. I will also run a Blaster 2 or 3 coil. The centrfical advance on the MSD is too easy to adjust. Do you have one you want to sell?

The only advantage to the MSD in an early street rod especially is that the diameter is much smaller which means that in many cars you don't have to dimple (dent??) the firewall. Also, in some, you cannot even get an HEI dist in or out of the engine without massaging the firewall (or pulling the engine ). In a '60 and on car, the HEI works just fine
