Flame away, hot rod guys, but I've been there and done that. OEM Delco rules for reliability.
I've heard it go either way. Frankly, all I've ever used are OEM Delco (because it was what was on the old part and it was still working) or no-name replacements (because that's all the parts house had). I couldn't tell you if Accel, Mallory or any of those other guys made a part that was worth a damn 'cause I've never owned 'em!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even with just the coil, module and pickup, that's about $100 in the General's pocketbook, isn't it? I guess I just can't help but think that if I'm that close, I may as well take the $30 leap and get a new distributor from top-to-bottom.
