I did once...
The bushing went out within 1/2 Hour of use.
I hate the Chinese Junk you see for sale anymore!
Try to find a Mopar Performance Distributor from
when they were American made. I would reuse and
curve an old OEM if the shaft was still nice and tight
than the new stuff although the bushings (Bearings) are not
as good as Mopar Perf.
My engine builder (TriCity Perf.) has several near new Mopar Perf. Distributors
with tach drive that you could probably buy around that price. If you
are still in market I will see him next week and could find out.

Buy from Rick on eBay. You didn’t mention what engine, but here’s a link to his 440 dizzy, click on him and go to his store, and buy the one you need.
Forgot the link.

I am sure I have what you need all tested and the distributor rebuilt, just need to know whats in the engine to get the curve right. PM me if needed.
PM me the details I might be interested.

Chinese Junk!
Yes it is. I am surprised Mopar let this stuff be "autorised" by them.
Replaces is another one to watch out for.

I've chatted with a few folks on this new offering from Progressive Ignition and it seems like it is really worth investigating if you are making a move to new:
It sounds like the owners are very receptive to making sure their customer's needs are met. There were some challenges with fitment with some aftermarket valve covers so they modified their design to ensure better fit. I really like that kind of focus on stuff for our Mopars as we are usually left to deal with issues when they are found. I really like the idea of being able to switch from a vacccuum referenced advance curve for the street to a track oriented curve with a quick software flip in the app. Improved mileage and a cooler running car on the street and a tailored curve for the strip. Not to mention dropping out a few degrees advance in a moments notice if you are suddenly forced to run some sh!t gas unexpectedly.
