>>>Ah, very interesting and good to know, thanks!   So, is it basically 
like a standard distributor with a Pertronix?   Same kind of magic happening 
under the cap?

I've got a ready-to-run under the hood of my GT350, with no box.   I think 
I'll run it like that for now and see how it works before upgrading to an 
MSD box as well.

Thanks for the insight!
