Looking at the MSD website, the 8365 is a replacement for a GM HEI and comes complete w/the coil inside the cap. The 8360 is a totally different distributor and does not come with a coil so an external coil would be needed such as the Blaster 2 or Blaster 3. Be aware that theyll require you to change the distributor ends of your wires or a new set of wires as the connections are different than stock unless youre coming from a HEI now. An ignition box (e.g., MSD 6AL) is NOT required on either distributor nor is a rev limiter. Aside from looking cool, Im not sold on the benefits of a 6A or 6AL ignition for everyday driving if your distributor and coil are up to snuff. The ignition box makes it easier to connect a rev limiter if youre looking to go racing.

Hi All
I've been looking at distributors for two days now and am more confused than when I started..I'm trying to find the best one for my 396/400 hp..I was looking at a MSD 8365 and was told by a speed shop that I could use a 8360, but I read up on that one and said something about not having the coil included..and then a buddy of mine said I need an ignition box with a rev limiter..so I'm a little confused..sure hope this isn't too dumb of a question..thanks, tom purtzer
