Title: Anyone use a DUI distributer?
Post by: tree on January 12, 2012, 07:44:14 PM
A  buddy of mine was tellin me to get a dui distributer,  he says they will practically run under water.  I just put a brand new 406 in my truck and with the extra speed hittin the mud my dist. keeps gettin wet.  I have a rubber flap under the truck and spray the dist. with this gel spray stuff from the railroad and it still gets wet!  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I use all msd stuff. and you can take  a garden hose hold over the dist,coli and will not miss  at all.  i thank when people use cheap stuff. is when you have problems. not say you need msd stuff, but good quietly stuff.

i never would run anything but a dui...as far as getting wet goes a peice of rubber over the dist with a few zip ties around the bottom seem to work pretty well i had the whole hood under the water out at budget boggers last summer and she never skipped a beat....i would also suggest running ur air intake into the cab if u like to get ballz deep otherwise u will be spending alot more money on your motor

silicone/permatex around the base of the dist.

I run davis unified ignition distibuter I love it I thing they are better than msd, never had a problem with it getting wet, my plug wires were a different story, had a bad one with a cut in it, so that always caused a problem, but never a problem with the dui distributer
