I like the MSD universal sets because I prefer to taylor my wires to fit.  On the boat I used the 90 degree boots at the spark plugs and ran the wires under the header to the rear and up and didn't require the heat socks.  On my daughters truck I used the straight boots and had to use 4 socks where the boot rested on the tubes.

This is often referred to as "Corvette style" just for reference.

Do you remember the Jacobs Ignition wires with the ceramic ends?

Super trick.

Think of it this way.

The conventional distributor is driven from the camshaft which is driven by a chain and sprockets, belt and pulleys or gears, and then ultimately to another worm gear. The opportunity for inaccuracies are pretty strong.

The crank trigger is signaled right off the crank. No potential for slop and way fewer moving parts.

An even larger advantage is that you can literally see the timing changes in increments of a half of a degree, even less if you really want to split hairs.

Ok makes sense, so with that setup do you lose mechanical advance and just run locked out timing?
