Distributor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought a pig in a poke and EVERYTHING seems to be wrong with it. Currently looking for a OEM hei distributor in good shape for a 1972 402 big block. Runs, but not well. Read somewhere that hei needs a new wire run with 12V. Looked inside cap and plastic covering wires is all crumbly, so I don't even want to mess with this distributor I have. I want to start with something known to be good. Wouldn't reject an aftermarket one, but some of the posts about chinese made ones aren't very complmentary.
