Recently replaced a full race engine with a more street motor in my 71 C10. The motor I picked to replace the racing engine was a fresh build 406 and had an MSD distributor already in it. I had never used. An electronic distributor except for the factory type. I decided, with the help of the tech to go with the MSD 6A. It was easy to install and the why directions were very clear. My motor fired up and ran gteat
