Ya I'm running an MSD distributor with external coil and a 6a ignition control box. I'm thinking about pulling it all out and going back to OEM just based on what I keep hearing on H-T and the fact that I'm getting random sputtering while driving which I'm sure is caused by the dizzy.

If I went back to OEM, all I would need is an OEM cap and rotor with the internal coil and that's it right? I can keep the dizzy base I have now?
