Alright so far Ive got an MSD 6A box picked, their GM blaster coil, and some superconductor wires.

I dont want to replace the distributor but I noticed that MSD has a high performance rotor for it. Is this a good idea??? Its only like 10 bucks or something but I want to be sure it fits the stock distributor fine.

Also, what about the distributor cap, am I stuck with the GM one or is there an aftermarket one that works a little better???

Thanks...

You might as well get the MSD cap and rotor as well.. Just because I like to keep everything matched up.. Yes they do fit just like stock ones..

Whats the part numbers for my cap and rotor?? I emailed MSD and they ignored that part of my question and so did summit racing. Good job tech supports.

MSD PN 8366 Cap

MSD PN 8427 Rotor

Just about 100% positive on that.. If your gonna go buy them though, Bring your old ones and match them up

For the cap I got 8426.

8366 is the whole distributor.

Yeah its 8426.. Shit sorry man!
thats right..

in the book, the two numbers are right beside eachother, i read the wrong one.. 8426 is the Cap number and 8427 is the rotor number
