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?
