i'm looking for a performance distributor for my 99 base model. does anyone have any suggestions on what to get?

 

what wrong with stock?

 

There aren't any. What do you need one for?

 

well, i did see a couple on a website. just wondering if anyone had any???

 

all the distributor does is distribute spark. There isnt really an advantage to a performance one, idk how you could really improve on it where it would make a difference. Unless you used like more conductive metal in it or something but its most likely not worth it.

 

if you wanna do something with the distributor....delete it and run coil packs.

 

alright, thanks for the info. i'll look into the coil packs.

What website was that? MSD makes B-series distributors but that's about it...never seen anything for an H.

Those appear to be just OEM replacements.

 

Looks like they do have some high performance distributors (for $590 though!!):

Designed to withstand the harsh environment of high horsepower applications and race cars, Rich Porter High Performance Distributors make more power and last longer than OEM and replacement units.

The results can be as much as a 10% increase in power and a 20% increase in fuel economy. </TD></TR></TABLE>

 

i understand the brass contacts, however what does a chromed housing and clear cap do for performance ? It sounds like the only actual upgrade is the brass contacts... which idk about you isnt worth a few hundred $$$ more to me.

Yeah, you won't find me buying one...there are better ways to get spark for that amount of $$$.
