    I'm comparing two distributor choices for when I rebuild my engine soon and I'm looking at these two choices.

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-8598/
    http://www.performancedistributors.com/fordduraspark.htm

    suggestions or alternatives? The engine is going to have a bit of power to it, somewhere along the lines of 450 HP to which it will most likely be a cruiser and, if I have the time, take to the track.

    bored and stroked to 347, aluminum cylinder heads with 2.02 intake and 1.06 exhaust. comp cams hydraulic roller with .544 lift and 230 dur. at 0.050 lift. approx 10.3:1 compression

    I'd go with a Duraspark, but get one from the local parts house, alot cheaper vs that $300 price tag. The one in my 331 cost me $55 with a core to exchange

    I'm using a duraspark in my 347, nothing wrong with them.
