RANT: HEI/ MSD Streetfire vs Skipwhite...

[INSIDIOUS '86]

My friends (streetfire) hei from msd worked for 6 months before the module died. Put in a new one and its been good for years. I got my Chinese pro comp to run good after finding a small cut in a plug wire that was arcing and its been smooth for six months sbc has never failed me at any point. Although when I first got it I trashed the distributor gear and module for my prev gear and a/c Delco module before ever dropping it in. I also got the only pro comp that was shimmed tight at .015 shaft play. So far I think the crappy procomp that everyone bashes on is actually nicer than the streetfire hei. I'm also housing an accel coil and Mallory 6al as well

I just went out and bought a msd pro billet hei. My dispointment is that they don't have adjustable vacuum canisters like crane kit. Would help a lot with low vacuum engines. Then you can only go down to 18* limited advance and then they go in three and one four increment stop bushings to 28*i have a lathe I can fix this issue with but not everyone does. Not exactly a superfine tune. Also that $100 heat module is useless if you run an ignition box. Other than that its lashed nice and tight so shaft play is minimal and all parts at of vice quality and debured nicely. Still would recommend the msd pro billet hei. Even the pro comp or streetfire if you replace the electronics. Better than an old worn crusty distributor.
