I was looking at stuff to bring my old dizzy up to snuff and Summit Racing offered a Summit Racing® Blueprinted HEI Distributor during my browsing. The price for a whole new unit looks attractive and it looks like it will bolt right in. If I understand the ad correctly this unit will need a coil & set of wires to take advantage of its features. I already had bought a Pertonix unit (which would now be surplus) along with the coil & wires to go with it.

Are these Summit Racing® Blueprinted HEI Distributor good reliable units?

Can I use the Flamethrower coil & special wires bought already with it or does it need something else?
