I want to run a Unilite dist. in the drag car. I figure that little laser is much more accurate than two magnets, and have heard so from other reputable places. I have only found one place to get it from that is for an 86' or up motor. I have found several for the 69 to 80 model block, several for the 81 to 85 block. I have and 86 block and have only found one. What is different about the block around the distributor? It is priced at $249 us dollars. Can't I just buy a dist for the 85 and lower blocks and save some money? It is a vacuum advance dist by the way.

------------------
'93 lx notch 4 banger (drive it to work currently), Using the 306, 8.8 posi, 4.10's, summit rear cover, elec. fan, cowl hood, wieand stealth intake, holley 650 d.p.carb., built c-4, e-303, full autometer guages, msd box, mallory unilite dist, and coil, roll cage, summit seat, subs, 15x10's in the back with slicks, skinnies up front, all in use for 1988 Hatch Drag Car. Hope to start running next year. Hoping for 7.20's after all is done with small motor.
