I think we kinda hijacked this thread a bit. The original question was, is there a distributor out there that is self-contained and that will perform like an HEI but has smaller dimensions? When you say, "self-contained", I'm only guessing that you mean that the coil is on the distributor? If so, I'm not sure you'll find a distributor that includes the coil, is smaller, and performs like an HEI. I believe you would have to use an external coil. Something like the MSD HEI Distributor kit 8474:
