I think the Sprint Cup boys spin their 358 CU in engine between 9200-9600 rpm and if not gear restricted could achieve 10K. They do this with either MSD boxes and use Crane or MSD distributors.

I thought I had my ignition sorted when I purchased the ICE setup, the bubble burst when I couldn't exchange the distributor for a standard shaft to fit the US blocks as they don't supply bigger than 0.490" - so one size fits all that are larger than that. Its a damn shame to sell it here and probably loose up to 33% of its value second hand. My idea of reworking the dist is one option
Jac Mac suggested going Ford Duraspark as they are reliable simple and less expensive compared to some aftermarket distributors, no doubt consumables like Caps and Rotors need replacing from time to time.
What I am trying to achieve is a reliable ignition capable of giving good spark to 7500rpm, and suitable for road use.
