Hi I was looking through Summit for an HEI Distributor for my 400 sbc which has a distributor with magnetic pickups. I was wondering if a magnetic pickup was the same as points? Or just a setup from points or a modfied version of points?


Anyways, it's a 1970 400 block with camel hump heads, holley hi-rise intake, edelbrock 750 cfm carb and a comp cams cam which I never found of the duration. Would the MSD Pro Billet HEI distributor (4 wire hookup) just drop in my engine without any modification? Or would I be better off with their MSD Pro Billet distributor with magnetic pickup? I guess I just want the best street performance distributor.



Any suggestions?
