Gene,
It came from TSP....Top Street Performance,www.topstreetperformance.com item # JM6930R. cost $167.00
I had it for 3 years and 9 months.
Can't say how many miles are on it but one of the problems is corrosion. We live
on a Bay and the Gulf is 3 blocks away here in Florida.  Salt water, salt air , humidity could have helped it fail.
Regards,
Tim

TSP is one of the many rebranded Chinese MSD copies.  If you see a distributor that looks like MSD but about 1/3 of the price, this is it.  I've heard of the genuine MSD having corrosion and other issues, as well.

Charlie,
Like I said, "living on a salt water bay and being 3 blocks from the Gulf of Mexico is not health for products that
have attendance to corrode.
I put a dab of electrostatic grease on the contact areas of this new distributor. I'll pull it out next year and see what it looks like.
