Been running the 8563 billet with the 6AL box on my 69 400 for a long time with no real issues other than the dist will get all rusty and corroded after ten years or so, even though it's very dry here. (I live in southern Arizona). This seems to be an even bigger issue these days from what I've read online. Some people won't even buy MSD anymore. I'm at that point again and wondering if I can run a different distributor with the 6AL box? Will the connection between the two be the same? I know that cutting and reworking that connection is kind of a no no. Debating whether to pull it all out and run the HEI setup. All comments are very much appreciated.
Dont belive everything you read on the internet I have been running a 6AL box in my cars since 1990. they last longer inside the car verses in the engine compartment. had them hooked up to stock points destributors to HEI and MSD pro billet distributors without any problems. Changing the wiring to the distributor and coil isnt really a big deal.
