I run a MSD distributor, works fine just needed to change the spring for the vacuum advance. I run a ZZ4 crate block in my 52 Chevy coupe and ran a stock HEI distributor but would cough and fart at around 4000, installed the MSD one and same thing. After doing some research I found that I had to change the spring (there supplied with it). It's been a great unit since, even bought an extra one for a future project.
