The Distributor drive is not for everyone....
Cost: Distributor Conversion - $400 for the cover.
$250 for Distributor
$150 for coil
$200 for 6AL box (cheapest route)
$100 for water pump spacers
$200+ for dampener
And... plug wires etc etc...
MSD 6010/6012 - $300 for the box
$250-300 for coil packs (if you dont have already)
and plug wires etc...
I went with the distributor conversion because the tuning capabilities in the MSD 7531 box far exceed the capability of the 6010 - and for my intended use, those additional capabilities make the conversion worth it.

well for simplicity and cost reasons the vic jr intake with 6ls box are my route of travel. I talked with a guy at summit and the part numbers used to do the dist. conversion use old small block ford part #s. YEAH that aint happening on anything chevy in my garage. as for the coil packs i am looking for some used ones. as well as a cam and crank sensor for the 24x and rear cam reluctor.

I swear to god it aint, lol. Just remember that great engineering knows no bounds. As hotrodders, our job is to take a good idea from here, a good idea from there, and assemble them into 1 great product. Brand loyalty is just a state of mind. Eric L
