Good question for FiTech, Larry. Since I did not use their spark control I don’t know the ins and outs of which distributors work with their system. They show examples using an MSD distributor where the mechanical advance mechanism is locked so it no longer functions. The timing of the spark is set by the electronics instead of the mechanical advance mechanism.

Jerry,
I don't get it. Exactly how does the FiTech hook up and then control the spark? What does "locked out"... "standard distributor" mean? I have a
points distributor converted to Hall effect and curved by Patterson....or would my EFI distributor plug directly into the FiTech?
