Here I found this as the cheapest place, even cheaper than the same company's ebay stuff 79.99 free shipping and enter the coupon code HELIX and get 4 dollars off

Just ordered mine they take paypal yey :lol:

I also found a couple a little cheaper on ebay but I wanted the one Greg mentioned.

No, I ran the MSD for almost a year. I dumped it because of repeated failures.

I should have mine in 5-10 days I will tell you then. One big thing I can say is on old carbed cars changing spacers can really affect powerband. The general rule is longer runners give more low end. Short for high revs.
