Took a chance on this distributor as there are mixed reviews. Just got the engine rebuilt and running about a week ago with the A-Team distributor installed. So far, it's working great and as designed. Idle and timing are rock solid. I initally made the mistake of installing it 180 degrees out but corrected it pretty quickly. One thing to note is you have to have patience when initially fitting it as sometimes it will only drop in so far and then stop and won't go any further. That's because the oil pump input isn't alligned just right with the distributor shaft. If you pull the distrbutor out, turn the the oil pump input slightly, then re-insert distributor, it will drop in all the way. It may take a few trys but it WILL seat all the way. I definitely recommend this unit if you don't want to fuss with your old points type distributor.

Well worth it, huge difference in power, response and easy fast starts on my 69 F250 with a 240 motor.Update, 1 year & 3 months, completely failed, no spark, I ordered new spark wires and a tuneup kit, still no spark, mechanic says another component is most likely the problem, H e has to remove the distributor and replace the part under the housing, $ 350.00 + do do the job, Its coming out and putting the old school distributor. Disappointed, I really liked the torque and power difference.UPDATE, made contact with Southwest, they replaced the distributor within 4 days after making contact. after replacing the distributor and checking the old one, the PICKUP COIL was not working, a replacement would have solved the problem. anyways, the new distributor i s working flawlessly.

I installed this distributor along with a new carburetor on a 1965 Ford F100 with 240 straight six engine. The original set-up was the Load-A-Matic vacuum advance only distributor with the Autolite 1100 carb. I struggled with this set-up for years. The truck would start OK and run but driveability was terrible. It had no power and would often stall and did not want to restart. I wanted to replace the carb with something different but the original distributor would not work with a different carburetor. I had to replace both. I chose a Carter YFA type carburetor and this distributor. After replacing the carb and distributor it is now a different truck. This distributor is an awesome idea. The HEI design is simple and solid. You only need to hook up 1 wire and the vacuum hose. The items inside the distributor are the same as original GM parts. If you need a coil or an ignition module just tell the guy at the parts counter you have a 1978 Camaro with a straight six. I did have to modify my plug wires since the new distributor cap has male terminals and the original cap has female holes. I ordered a set of crimp on terminal ends of the proper style, cut the ends off the original wires, and crimped the new ones on. The electronic ignition is a game changer. It pisses off the purists, but I'm interested in trouble free driving more than total originality.

No power to the coil Straight Out of the Box so will not work and I miss the return date by one day so now I guess I'm just stuck with it and it doesn't work going to try replacing the coil and module when I can afford to with better parts and try to use this distributor

This was super easy to install an to get running on my 84 F150 with the 300 6 cylinder. I installed this along with a tachometer and tach filter for HEI's just to know how many rpms I'm running. Would recommend to anyone with and older vehicle cause it brought new life to mine. Just know if you are having problems to get this to fully seat rotate the motor over by hand until it seats in the oil pump.

Installed in a 85 f150. Dropped right in. A typical easy hei hook up.I did swap out the module and coil that it came with. I never had luck with those cheap ones.Not much else to say. Gm brilliant distributor used in a ford.

The four pins on the cap contact the push rod side cover on my 1992 4.9l 300cid l6 making any timing adjustment impossible. Would love to hear if there is a solution or known fix for this. I contacted A-Team through their website contact form and have had no reply. Even without the ability to adjust the timing the engine cold starts and idles way better than it did with the traditional distributor. Really wish the customer service and fitment were better as this seems like it could be a gem of a product. Will update my review if I'm ever contacted or find a remedy.
