Those $49 COMPLETE Dizzies from Skip White are working really well for alot of people. New Cap, Rotor, Module, pick up, Coil, dizzy and all. Brass leads on the cap too. I'm about certain it's China Pro ****, but the dizzies are working good.

This is like the Red One I got except it's Black. Honestly, I don't care much for that coil cover. It's like that to mimic a high po coil. It does keep the plug wires an and provides and unbrella for the wires, but it's a bitch to bolt off and on when you want to change wires. You coulds still get this one though and use your current coil cover if you wanted to save the $1 for the one with the OE style cover.

Yeah, I realized after I posted it. It's just the small base HEI with external coil for clearance issues.

How long have they been selling at those prices?

Well over 2 years that I"m aware of. He and a couple other vendors have sold the **** out of those. If you see his feedback, the few negatives are for slow shipping on some products but none for bad product. I know of 2 other people here in town running these dizzies one of them in an 11.25 Street/Strip truck and doing just fine. He's even running the same **** it came with, coil, cap and all.

Cool Bro! Thanks!

I am surprised of the lack of interest in diagnosing the problem here instead of blindly throwing more money at it.

Ok let's ask the original poster a simple question, does it start right up after it dies? Next thing is he says it misfires at a idle. I understand that it could be a bad power source to dizzy, but if I run into ignition troubles and the odvious cap, rotor, modual doesn't fix it from my experience there more than likely rust in pickup and if he's not real experienced with taking the distributer apart he's money ahead replacing the whole thing.

Next thing he asked about what he was getting into to change the dizzy. First lift cap off an note where rotor is pointed for sure. Might be best to turn engine till it points to number one cylinder. Note where vacuum advance is also next. When you put the new dizzy in make sure rotor points exactly where old one pointed. Also try and line up the vacuum advance for a starting point. If the distributer was installed right the first time and you follow number 1 plug wire will be at the terminal that is closest to the number one cylinder or points toward 1. Firing order is simple fires in clockwise direction in order of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 with the odds being on drivers side and evens on passenger side low numbers on front high on rear. A 15 min job all it is. If I forgot something someone on here will sure add it I hope.

Also I would like to note from my experience, and I know not all agree with me, but I had that dialectric grease crap on my last set of plug wires and it totally jacked up my ignition system.
