Hey all!
Friend from Corvette Forum here

What are your guys thoughts and experiences with the cheap chinese made remote external coil small cap distributors? This one for example:

Are these workable for a budget race car?

They get scary cheap, $45 distributor:

Working on an 1991 L98 Corvette, want to swap on a converted LT1 intake manifold.

To avoid welding and keep the factory fuel lines at the rear I am hoping to use a small cap distributor.

I know I need an adapter harness to go from my 1991 L98 large cap setup harness to an 87-92 Camaro small cap.

Suggestions for a remote coil?

Thanks all!

 

I bought one like it from ebay but I used an ac delco cap and rotor. Roughly a month after installing it the icm died and I replaced it with an ac delco and had no further issues. This was back in 2020.
Still has the China pick up coil. I have an ac delco to replace it with but since it hasn't presented as an issue yet I've just left it.
