Also seen it. 
Looks very cool, but have never heard of anyone who has it.

Is the distributor made in China ?

Their site states ;

DESIGNED AND ASSEMBLED IN THE USA

All electronic parts are sourced and assembled in the USA to ensure quality. Every  distributor is fully tested and calibrated  on a distributor machine before  shipping.


Has a one year warranty though !

If you need a smart phone to adjust the timing on an AMC engine then you need a lot of help. Wink

Well, if you're going computer controlled fuel injection, you might as well have computer controlled ignition. All inside the distributor, no advance weights or curve, computer controlled by smartphone settings.

Nice craftsman timing light on ebay...$35.  Seems like a helluva deal!  Leave the iPhones at home and turn wrenches like a real man!

Tuner technology in an old car is better. Like swapping a chip in diesels, you can dial in for street driving and racing.

no kidding.
one of the things you have an old car is it's simplicity.
How often do you have to set timing that it became a chore?
