Hey y'all, yesterday I installed an MSD 8519 Pro Billet distributor in my 79 360 Cherokee. I left the stock ignition box in place for now. Had to add one ground wire to the MSD dist. housing to make it a 'plug and play' installation with the stock wiring coming from the stock box. Added a set of HEI type wires and the old girl is running very good.
Does anybody see a problem with leaving this setup long term? Of course MSD wants everybody to buy their $300.00 boxes for their distributor ... but apparently it will work with the factory box.
Appreciate any input from experienced wrenchers. Thanks.
