Im searching around for a distributor for my 88 TPI IROC, lookin around but no luck, should i just stick with a stock one? i got some bolt ons, headers, air foil. fuel pressure regulator, and new catco cats, and a crappy granatelli MAF

 

the stock GM distributor should be fine to atleast 350HP, probably plenty more but i forget the exact number. coil is what i would worry about first.

GM HEI article

 

The distributor is just a firing mechanism. I run a stock replacement from NAPA and I have no problems at all. I also run a Crane HI-6S and coil with the ignition.

 

The stock external coil dizzy is fine. Just use a good 8 pin hei module (GM/Delco), most aftermarket modules are crap. Use a good cap and rotor like an MSD. I bought a reman GM dizzy (CarDone) from kragens and it works just fine, my original dizzy had worn out bearings and bad shaft wobble. For the external coil, use a good aftermarket coil like the MSD 8226. Also use 8mm spiral core plug wires. All that should be perfectly good for a street motor unless it is extreme. I'm running all that and it works great.

 

if you have your heart set on a distributer jegs and summit have them...i'll get you the links.
