Has anyone had any experience with the electronic distributor 22-5888 from Vick Auto? My 1987 Spider has ignition issues that I can't figure out. Seems like a logical choice. They sell for $150 which is half of what similar distributors sell for...

Bought the centerline electronic distributor ID405 and the bosch blue coil for my 78 Alfa Spider and wired it up right but when I attempted to start there was a clicking/ticking sound coming from distributor and it started smoking. The spark plug wires are correct and the coil is wired correctly...

I am looking at the new "tune" version of the 123 distributor and wondered if anyone could confirm that the D model would fit a 1974 spider http://www.leenapk.nl/images/super/Tune_model_D.PNG. Thanks for any help, Mike
