I hope it works out for you! Those were unavailable for so long, I decided to build a locked out stock distributor and upgrade to the Black Box from CB Perfomrance.

Dan, I already had one that I bought off of a forum member a year and a half ago. I bought one from Clark's this time as a back up (and possible investment...lol).- I was on the notify list for almost 2 years. The one I have now set initial timing to a bit over 18 degrees coupled with my XR700 and SafeGuard works great.

I have been using a Dale manufactured one for years with no issues on my 180 in my 69 coupe. I run usually 22 degree advance with vacuum plugged at setting advance. Run 91 octane no AL gas with no knock at boost. I don't use any Black box or Knock sensors. I still use GM points and AC 443 FF racing plugs .I believe if Clarks is made like Original its best $100.00 you can spend on a stock turbo.
