Replacing distributor

I'm having electrical issues and this is my next stop. I need to replace my distributor and what do you guys think of this for a cheap replacement?

They are all over the place.

1) Cheap. There's that old thing about getting what you pay for. Certainly don't expect to get more.

2) Won't work with computer controls.

Re: Replacing distributor

We converted it over to from computer control a while back ago, remember I had a bunch of questions about the old AIR injection bs and that q-jet to 670. You gave some good info then so i'll listen to you know lol. Guess i'll go pay the 84 bucks for a rebuilt one from advanced.

Sorry, read many, many posts in a given week. Details tend to blur (unless somebody's being particularly stupid - that tends to stand out ).
