>>>MSD builds a large- and small-diameter version of their distributor for the 351C. Needless to say the small diameter version is the one to get for the Pantera. Some manage to cram the large-diameter version in there, but then you run the risk of having the types of problems Steve ran into.
Also, Jack's caution regarding the lack of local availability of spares is worth noting. I recently purchased a small-base MSD setup (haven't installed it yet) and when I drive the car, rest assured a spare cap and rotor will be nestled in the tool kit/spares bag...
