Small cap HEI

Anybody running a newer small-cap HEI distributor, the kind that doesn't use an ignition box? Any problems?

The newer HEI requires a computer to control timing. The only advance you'll get without the computer is about 10-15 deg around 2500 rpm and it will come on like throwing a switch.
