Default trouble finding a performance ignition

So I have an 86 Z28 305 TPI. I rebuilt the motor, and am getting to drop it back in. Figured I would put a new ignition system in. But I am having trouble finding a 7-pin Ignition Control Module. I found it in Accel. I would much rather go with a MSD, but I just can't find em. Anyone have any advice? Any other manufacturers you had good luck with? Its just a street machine with a set of Headers, Flowmaster 3 inch exhaust, and B&M Ratchet shifter. Thank you.

are you looking for a performance ignition module, the one that goes under the cap in the distributor? the only one i am finding aftermarket for the 7 pin is the accel unit. i cant think of any other companies that offer them, it is a nearly 25 year old car. i had the same engine in my car, but it is the 4 pin. i just want to make sure, but you have visually checked that its the 7 pin? the only other option would be to replace the distributor to use the 4 pin

Yes, the module under the distributor. Its definitely not a 4-pin. One side has the smaller prongs, and the other has 2 bigger ones. But when I counted them a few months ago, I though I counted like 5 all together, but I could be wrong.
