Default Pep Boys Dizzy?

Just wondering what you guys thought about me getting a Pep Boys Dizzy and trying that since I didn't have luck with Distributor King... my tach wouldn't work with them for whatever reason.

Also if any Type R guys are interested my Toda Spec B's are up for sale in the market place if you wanna check it out.

the tach wouldnt work because that wire wasnt connected on the dizzy. they are good distributers, just send it back to them and get another.. pep boys shouldnt be any different either

I wouldn't trust anything from Pep boys doing over 8000 rpm.

Not sure haven't taken it apart yet... its making a crackling noise and my R doesn't wanna rev smoothly passed 7k. Its jumpy after 7k. Maybe the rotor? Problem is, I really don;t know how to do Dizzy work.

Autozone axles rule only for their cheap price, otherwise they are known to be a singularly low form of excrement.
