i meant to say procomp is the company i dont like, i do like bronco graveyard. and yes i have installed distributors before, ive just never have had any problems with any of them. and i swaped from efi to carburation so this is my first time dealing with something that did not come stock. and no the motor was not running before. it is a new motor so i figured why not an HEI to top off the new motor, so no i dont have an original distributor. and how i came to the conclusion that it is junk is that since january i have gone through six pickup coils. and it litrally chews into one side of the magnet. i called procomp and they just shipped me a new pickup coil. that lasted ten minnets, i called them again and they told me to ship it to them and that they would fix it. so i shipped it to them and they shipped me my old one with a new pickup coil, that lasted about fifteen minnets. i called them again, thier technition told me to smash the reluctor with a hammer and that would fix my problem, i call B.S., have you heard of fixing it this way? and i have heard alot of good things about DUI distributors, im just not sure if i should go to a duraspark 2 or try a diffrent company such as mallory for an HEI, i will try bronco graveyard monday and see if they are willing to work with me, i really do like the HEI i got. im assuming i just got a bad one? and procomp isnt willing to replace it or even fix it right, if it is fixable?
