Seems like only a few years ago, I thought $300-something was a lot for an MSD HEI!

However, I wouldn't jump right away on the your current distributor being the problem. Could be a poor connection from ignition switch to the HEI +12v terminal. Or possibly a poor coil ground. I have seen both cause intermittent problems.
Wow, almost $500 Canadian plus shipping for a new HEI, that's more than I thought!

I think I'm gonna order a new AC Delco Module and Pickup Coil from Rock Auto. Looks like I can pick both those up for just over $100 shipped which isn't too bad.

I'm also going to replace that resistor style power wire with a nice 10 gauge replacement. Just have to find a way to re use the original connectors :S

Hopefully those 3 things make the difference and bring me back to a reliable spark
