Your opinions

I have an 82 blazer with the ESC crap. I need a new knock sensor but it is 80 something bucks. I have a regular HEI but I'm not sure how good it is. I can get a new summit or proform dist. for about 130 or I can get a new performance module for my regular HEI for less than that. OR i can do the wire trick on Mike's page. What do you guys think.
Oh by the way, I replaced the worn 305 with a gm goodwrench and have about 60 miles on it. I'm about to go through emissions so I want to get this done first.
Thanks,
sal (mesa, az)

I was having lots of problems with the stock HEI on my Blazer. I installed this, and did away with the ESC. Haven't had a problem since.

i'm assuming that is the pro billet msd... what is that like 259 or so. That is a lota money for a distributor if i'm not running more than 300 horses.

nothing wrong with a performance distributor but for 25-30 dollars you can get a hei in the junkyard and for another 20-30 bucks you can freshen it up and have it good as new.i may even have a hei laying around i can sell you me and my dad have alot of parts laying around.call me about it if you like its 480-430-8235 ask for jim.ill see what i got if your interested
