i need some solid advice on a dis./ing. set-up. im looking for a reasonably priced set-up and it gets kind of confusing.i would like an hei distributor,and a box that is simple to configure and use. a rev-limiter is also in order,if that helps. what kind of mix and matching can i do for a decent price? i have a somewhat built 283,daily driver(pends'on the day),good performance is a must. what do you guys think?
You could try something like this from MSD. It's a replacement "under cap" module with a Rev Limiter.

If you insist on the HEI distributor, To better up one notch, I'd get an MSD 6AL box and the MSD conversion cap with the round external coil including the plug wires.
Don't use Accel IMO.
Don't mix and match aftermarket parts if you can help it. My friend swear's by Mallory. He ran different brand coil's with his Mallory stuff one year and kept frying Them. Finally got the Mallory coil again and all was well. He uses a Mallory Dist.
Also, better coil's are useless without the proper module. Semi-technically speaking, the module controls how long the coil gets energized for the harder hit/spark etc. etc. etc.
Unlike the link above, The 6AL box and other boxes ARE the module so the HEI's original under cap module would be bypassed/eliminated.
The MSD 6AL's have chips that just plug in like a fuse for different MAX RPM'S.
Mallory's have micro switches built into them to adjust the RPM limiter.
Hope this help's
