Im thinking on doing a Duraspark swap on our 62. Is it true that a FE dizzy will fit? do I need a particular year range?

 

an fe will not fit.you can put the duraspark guts into a y dist if its the late one.these late dist,have an o ring dirt seal on the housing.the early ones had a flat gasket seal.i put 302 parts in mine.

 

Go to NAPA , Advance Auto and maybe others and buy a new dizzie. They are the 289 style with the O ring seal on the shaft; price is around $55-60. These come out as replacements in 65 so they never were installed at the factory. Currently manufactured by Cardone.

Cant help with the Duraspark, I use Mopar guts.

 

I dont need help with the duraspark swap, just which dizzy will fit.

So I need a late 60s 289 distributor? is that what Im reading here? Ive never swapped the guts out of a dizzy, any tech articles or sites anyone can link for me?

 

no.it has to be 292.looks like later type.

 

So nothing new and ready to run will fit? it HAS to be a Y block dizzy?
