That's what the suppliers are charging. There was a time when Potterman
found a source of these distributors for cheap and he passed the savings
along to the rest of us. Then the guy he got them from upped the price
quite a bit and even still Potterman is able to sell them much cheaper
than Autotech ($400 blech!) wants. 

So, what this distributor does is it pulls in advance sooner while total
(dont quote me on these numbers, im going off memory here.) advance is 2
degrees less. As I recall, 15 degrees initial and 32 degrees total. Works
great in my 8v! Too bad the price went up last year.
