Well I'm no distributor expert by no means, mostly working on SCCA race cars, I didn't touch one for probably 15 years, but now with street cars and vintage race car coming into the fray, I'm back in the distributor world again. At our shop we installed a new Flamethrower, can't comment much on the installation, David did this job as I was out of town that day, but the customer has had the car back two months now, and if there was a problem we would know about it, so I assume everything is fine and dandy. I've also had the fortune of installing a 123 mechanical unit on a vintage race car, about as simple as it gets, I like the adjustments, kinda made me feel at home agian after playing with Electromotive crank fire ignitions, it too has worked flawlessly, the customer ran the NASA championships a few weeks back and the car never missed a beat all week long.
I'd probably go for a Flamethrower on my street car or even giving Jeff a crack at rebuilding me one and for the race cars using distributors, after seeing my customers unit, I would look hard at the 123. That's the advantage of running a shop like mine, you get people wanting all the latest stuff and get to sit back and judge what the best bang for your buck on your own car.
I've also got a new Aldon red single point unit sitting on the stock shelf, I've often wonder what made these so expensive, I don't see it just looking at it.
