Questions about a 123 Ignition Dizzy Distributor Options

[9144me2enjoy]

Here’s the Dilemma, I just bought a 914 with a Raby 2270 engine build. It came with a Mallory Unilite Ignition System which allegedly kept blowing the Ignition modules at about $100.00 a pop. The Mallory was removed and replaced with a Stock 009 distributor with points. Now it idles better but cold starting and definitely a loss of power through its power curve (estimated about 15%) on the 170 hp engine. It has been recommended to upgrade to a 123 Ignition dizzy distributor by a knowledgeable Type 4 mechanic that drove the car. From his recommendation I have a message into R.A.T. Raby’s Aircooled Technologies to see what they recommend. These distributors run about $450-up. What would you recommend from your experience? I’m getting the cart before the horse here but thought it would be nice to know the recommended options i have down the road for I don’t have to do it twice! Thanks
