Have been running an HEI style one for just over a week now on a turbocharged 455 Pontiac.
So far so good and does everything it's supposed to.

Over 2 months with mine now and still working perfectly. What a beautifully simple way to tune timing. Street strip car just driven on weekends mostly so not a ton of run time.

Really hope it holds up over time and totally recommend this otherwise.

Wish I knew about this a couple months ago!
I just bought a pertronix setup with there distributor, box and coil.
Looks like this does everything I was looking for when I was shopping for mine!!!
Really cool idea....

Distributor has a built in map sensor that you connect to manifold vacuum and then vacuum advance is programed with the app. No moving parts...

Hmm..
Just might be the ticket. It's gets pretty old messing with weights, springs, adjustable vacuum cans and limiter plates.

Curious, what was your total cost shipped to your door in CDN funds?

Their ad copy says:

DESIGNED AND ASSEMBLED IN THE USA
All electronic parts are sourced and assembled in the USA to ensure quality. Every distributor is fully tested and calibrated on a distributor machine before shipping.


So, everything else off-shore I would assume.
