Since you neglected to give any specific information on your car/situation, I'll put this in very generic terms. The distributor is no comparison to an MSD ignition controller. The dist is 4 to 5 times more expensive, offers only a custom FEAD setup, has way more moving parts, and is a lot less tuneable. Most that use them are bound by class rules or very high revving engines. Prolly not what you were hoping to hear...

All this would require add-on boxes with a dist. Plus the freedom to use whatever FEAD you want...

there are sticky threads on the subject and a search would have turned up a lot of discussion.

that dist is going to cost a lot of money by the time yoiu are done. getting everything you need.

The MSD boxes are a simple as it gets.
