I guess I don't see the need for the boxes.
Does the locked out MSD come with the adjustable rotor?
On the subject of coils... Once upon a time a user on this site was also an employee of MSD, when he saw I was using the typical Blaster 2 coil mounted horizontally (in my build thread) he made the following recommendation -
Adjust the rotor? Not following you on that......or you mean the collar?
I remember reading some posts from that member at one point. I always knew the stock ones needed to be upright, didn't know why.....now I know. I have an oil filled coil and a bracket from MSD, my plan was to mount it upright on the firewall somewhere. That reminds me, I need to find the coil wire that came with my taylor wire set.
ah....
No, I didn't notice that rotor when I had the cap off. Interesting way of adjusting it though.
Yeah, too much of a pita for my brain though. Me need simple.
As long as I set it right with the FiTech from the start I shouldn't need to adjust anything mechanical again. In theory at least....haha
I didn't know there was another way to do it. All the instructions I've seen use the adjustable rotor. Maybe it's a difference between Holley and FiTech setups.
I found it recommended in the directions from FiTech too. Called the old man and he said he used one on the El Camino, he cant remember if it had one or he had to buy one. Thank you for pointing that out.
I asked because I'm thinking I'll buy a standard MSD distributor to start out on the Sniper. Once it's running good, I'll get the locked out distributor you're using and put the first MSD in the '66. I was already planning to upgrade the ignition in the '66 as soon as the 454 is squared away so this kinda kills 2 birds with 2 distributors. Wait, that doesn't sound all that efficient. 
I confirmed an adjustable rotor does not come with the distributor. I ordered one from summit, should be here tomorrow.
I'm recycling some parts off the K10 to C10 too.

I hope you make it to Blazer Bash. I feel like we're 454 aftermarket efi buddies. Gotta see it in person now.
I'll be there.
My buddy with a ZZ502 72 blazer on tons is coming too. He just ordered FiTech so there will be a few of us.

And @wheels87k5 is talking about a 454 before Blazer Bash too.
