Donnie - you may be reading into this "distributor" thing a little too much. You can't compare what we are talking about to points and condensor distributors from the past. The DIS stuff MSD put out a few years ago for use with the stock coil pack is total JUNK - ask anyone who had one. I realize a timing chain stretches, tolerences change, etc. The distributor is more accurate because of the flying magnet setup. The real advantage is in the MSD box not the distributor like you said. The only distributor setups I know of are on race only cars so I don't think the issues of corrosion, etc are that big of an issue. Stock cam sensors have bushings that can wear and a drive gear as well so what's the difference there? I don't know of any low maintenance race cars anyway
