okay, from a stupid move on my part, I was adjusting the timing and was turning the distributor with the tfi module, I had the nut still too tight and I cracked the tfi module. This was on a MSD Pro Billet Distribuor. the car didn't start anymore, so I put the stock tfi module on the msd dizzy and it works. My question is.. am I loosing any performance with the stock tfi module over the MSD one that came on the MSD unit? is the dizzy basically useless now? thanks-Mike

Mike, I think you're fine. Did you remember to put heat sink (or dielectric) grease on the TFI?

Good luck.

yeah, I did, thanks HIssin, I was just curious it the msd one had more saturation or whatever the performance ones have. and if it makes the msd distributor basically stock now?

Accel makes TFI modules. Check Jegs or Summit for them...I did buy one for my MSD dist when I put my motor back together. They claim to be better than a stock one, but I won't know for a while. Car is in a Million pieces...
