Much easier to do an MSD dist, 6AL and coil. Bolt on and go. Plug and play. No special wiring/rewiring.
there is no special wiring needed to run duraspark, just power and ground, I can hook a duraspark set up , up quicker than a msd box, dizzy and coil set up

see carb is the best route for budget, difficulty and trouble shooting issues when converting from a 4cyl to 5.0 and when i have an issue about the way its running instead of having to get codes checked and a whole bunch of "well maybe its this" to fix it ...its easier to just adjust some screws and timing and roll with it
