Robbie: My understanding is these units came about as a result of farmers wanting to change from Mag. to distributor ign. The Delco after market distributor was much less expensive than going to IH for an IH original. Those who have them like them very much.

I guess one shouldn't knock that as I've never heard any complaints on that being a problem. I guess it's just that most vertical distributors we are use to are driven direct from cam shaft rather than through timing and governor drive gears.
