There is no external box. The distributor is self contained. After re-reading the instructions I found that you can still run a capacitive discharge ignition box (I guess that means both Duraspark and MSD) and wire it as points/amplifier style ignition. Maybe I will reintroduce the MSD 6A into the mix.
I think the height of the distributor is the same as Motorcraft. You can email or call them for a precise answer.
It also has vacuum advance that is programmed on your phone. Below is a screen shot of the initial programming. The vacuum advance is only a hose connection into the bottom of the distributor and there is no canister or diaphragm.
Finally, you can lock the distributor from your phone as a theft deterrent. Each distributor has a unique four digit PIN that you enter on your phone at initial setup.
It appears that this distributor eliminates the need for a separate box?
Can the software be installed on more then one device like your laptop in addition to your phone?
If you loose your phone you could be screwed?
I only see male terminal caps? That would be my preference but do you know if there is an option?
You want full advance in at your cruising rpm for best fuel economy. I would think 2800 in 5th?
If there was a way to identify what gear the car was in, you might want a different curve for each gear?
One of the ways a computer controlled engine measures the load on the engine is with a vacuum reading. Wow. Now I'm really getting out of control! Sorry.
