Nope.

Only performance part you can buy for the dist is the Holly Ahnilator (SP?) ICM. It's coast the same as the stock one, but will keep full spark energy till 9K RPM and not drop off 30% once you hit 3K RPM.

I have put it on and noticed that throttle respones is snappier. Also it appeared to have fixed the missfire I would get at 3500 RPM.

Yeah I just saw one on the mallory website. They make one for a 2.8 and a 3.1. Don't know if they're any good though.

Yes Mallory makes one, it's like 400 bux too. GO with a delco replacement, they've since modified the OEM part with much better parts, you won't have any issues with spark hitting like it should. Spend the extra money on an MSD box, if you want a good strong spark.

That mallory distributor isn't for a computer controlled car.

I was just about to check and see what was going on when I read your response. I know they never had one for the computercars and was wondering if it was brand new and I didn't know about it. I would love a billet aluminum distributor for this motor to help control the heatsoak better on the ignition modules.
