Looked at the Ebay ad. Looks like its not an MSD distributor. Just an HEI distributor with MSD wires....
 
That actually looks like an MSD Street Fire distributor. Our "economical" line. Normally retails for about $160 new...

Don't know where he got his from? :thinking:

Hate to argue with the man himself here on MSD stuff but I think the catch to that dizzy is its a knockoff of your stuff.

Btw do you guys have a small cap streetfire hei? I really dont need a control box right now but in the future when I build a blower motor I will. If I can get a small cap dizzy for a reasonable price I will rather than shelving the coil on cap streetfire later on.

Does your warehouse have a back door?:whistle:
Could just be a cheep china knockoff.
 
We don't offer a Street Fire small cap HEI distributor. The smallest one we offer with a built in module is the 8360 Ready to Run.

As much as I hate to say it our Street Fire HEI distributor is Chineese made. :angry1: It's unfortuante but that's the business. The Street Fire HEI distributor is built to our specifications but is a China piece none the less. Many of us here at the factory argue the point but with so many other companies producing parts in China and underselling it we didn't have much of a choice but to offer a "budget" distributor.

On the bright side anyone looking for an economical MSD box or wire set our Street Fire box and wires are made in the USA and are great pieces. I myself wouldn't hesitate a bit to run either of these products on my personal rig.

Stomis maybe look at an 85551 distributor or an 8361 for your rig and a Street Fire box part number 5520. Depending on blower setup this box may very well run everything you need and then add a boost timing master later for the blower. If you'd like to talk about options more call me at 915-856-2739.
