wont rev

I have had very good results over the years using the (relatively) late model EST GM "small cap" distributors with the pick-up coil connected to an MSD 6 or 7. Just make sure that you have the correct gear for your application.

I agree on the OEM pick up coils, but the early ones move back and forth with the vacuum advance. I have seen the wires break. Therefore any used ones can't be trusted.
At least you want to pull on the wires to see if they're ready to break inside the insulation.
