Hello Keith
Another example of this is Mallory vs. Accel. Mallory was the key player in the '50's and '60's. These were the pieces to run. Along came Echlin's line of Accel components in late '69 and cleaned Mallory's clock in the '70's because of their adverstising budget. Accel had full page color ads in what seemed like every mag, every month starting in '70. Accel's 3000 series distributor was a very high quality, competition distributor though and Accel Super Coil really got them started.
It's also should be noted that MSD started to clean Accel's clock in the mid '80's and still does so today. What goes around comes around.
