Hello out there....just learned that the 123 Distributor is completely solid state which is always intriguing.....love to modernize things on these oldies. So any stories on performance increase or just overall drivability? Issues? Competing products? Thank you all,

Mine has run reliably, and I like the "torque balancing" feature, as well as the all solid-state construction. But, it hasn't really improved performance noticeably over the original dizzy (which was in good condition). At least on the D-Jet version, it also lacks a rev limiter at a useful RPM, so some care is needed not to turn your engine into shrapnel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

If you're running D-Jet, there are some nuances. Namely, choosing the appropriate profile from the limited choices available via DIP switches, and getting the orientation/polarity correct for proper fuel injection pulse phasing:
