May I ask why you want to get a aftermarket one? Generally stock is the way to go.

MSD = May Suddenly Die. Try to avoid them. Other than that, you may want to try Mallory.

MSD does get a lot of bad reviews but mine is still holding up. I held onto the stock cap just in case since it was only worn. I'd give it a shot for forty dollars.

I took a junk yard Distributor apart and put the housing on a wire wheel.... It cleaned up nice nice. I tossed it back together with a little Lube on the shaft and it was good to go.

Have a MSD Pro Billet in mine, other than the MSD TFI going T.U. in less than a month I have had no problem with mine. I'm now using a stock Motorcraft TFI with it. Speaking of which, I ordered a TFI Relocation Kit from McCully Racing and wouldn't you know it the fricken US Postal Service delivered it to the wrong address so I am now out the kit and 65 bucks!!
