I ran across this product while surfing on CB performance website.

Does anyone have experience with this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

It seems like a possible alternative to timing and vacuum advance issues, especially when using different than stock cam that screws up the vacuum.

Based on correspondence, I believe the issue has to do with current workmanship on the out-of-box Unilite. I think the issue was deeper than caps/rotors and involved pins and such internal to the distributor. Basically, at one point the Unilite was easy to make a drop-in for a 914 motor. It was minimum effort and $$$ for Jake and others to set them up. Since then (2006/7?), it requires some man-hours to work the new manufacture distributors to be like the old ones we used to get.

When you get one from Tangerine, they put the extra man-hours in and bring them up to snuff. Basically, time = $$$,

And if I understood Jake's position it was probably hogging more man-hours than was profitable. Jake's team offer them only on the turnkey motors because again they reqire more fine-tuning and work to dial them in, which comes with them building a motor for you.

Have I characterized the scenario correctly?
