Hey guys,
I'm looking for a Distributor that fits in the FE head that's better than our stock ones. I need one with at least a 24-1 wheel. I'm using an EMS so it doesn't matter if it's got a coil in it or not (MS-II has an igniter in it, so something like an MSD coil can be used) I just need something that fits our head. Maybe pre-rev2 distros? I think they had a 24-1 trigger wheel in them. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

How is one Distributor better than another?

QUOTE (qatar11 @ May 14, 2012 - 2:56 PM)  How is one Distributor better than another? It's only better because I'm using an EMS... but technically a distributor with a trigger wheel with more teeth is better because it is more precise. It's all a matter of whether or not you've got an ECU that can take advantage of that. Mine seems to be 4-1, and I see that there are some 5s-fe distributors that are 24-1 but they seem to be external coil distributors. That's no issue for me, the issue is that I can't find which nor where are the distributors with the 24-1 trigger wheel... -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

If you are going with Megasquirt then you will have a hard time getting any Toyota distributor to function correctly, at least from what I have read when I looked into this.
Your best bet is to convert to the external trigger wheel with ford coil packs. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Just need to find the right machine shop who'll do it without messing stuff up. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
