I have had a Hurst unit on the Fairmont for almost 20 years now, never a problem, but yes, they are pricey. I have also had good luck with the TCI and Biondo units on my street Fairmont, as well as my 85 Mustang. Both were much cheaper. As for plumbing the solenoid AFTER the distribution block, that is the way that NHRA requires it. On the Fairmont, I used to have it plumbed between the master cyl and the Dist. block, it always wotked fine that way. However, about 10 years ago, NHRA mandated plumbing the solenoid AFTER the dist. block, so I had to re-do the plumbing. Doesn`t work any better (or worse) this way, but I suppose IF the valve in the dist block were to stick, the before dist block arrangment COULD cause a problem.------------------
