Distributors
so the Distributors in my car is no good and none of the local scrapyards have anything. right now the car just has bolt ons but down the road i plan on going a 347 or a procharged hci 302/6 but havent made up my mind. anyway cause im up in canda and everythings expensive the ford oem one is the same price as like a msd, mallory,etc are from summit(the canadian stores those are an extra 100dollars so thats out). so my question is it worth the shipping duties to go with an aftermarket one? will i ever need with anything better in the future (no plans atm to go to far over 400rwhp)?

ya im efi, more or less stock 95. well i guess i might as well stick oem and save all that ups bs. so ar the carb ones not as good as the efi or does the aftermarket suppliers just have a better line up for carbed motors?

the duraspark distributor for carb applications is okay but it has it's limitations as it is vaccum advance and is not as quick to tune the advance curve on as a msd one is for carb applications, trust me I have both set ups in my cars and the msd is a lot quicker to set the total advance and curve on

the duraspark dizzy you can buy a adjustable vaccum advance for but wheb you want to change the initial mech curve you have tp pry up the reluctor whell with 2 screwdrivers then remove the stator then you can access the springs and weights for mech portion, then reinstall all and set vaccum advance, even after doing all this I could never get the duraspark dizzy under 45 degrees total advance so eventually I just unhooked the vaccum portion and have a total of 35 now.....where as the msd one in my 85 has fairly accurate springs for curve and uses a stop so you can set total by just changing stops, takes 5 min max!!!
