I need help; I would like to convert a duraspart distributor back to single points! I want to put a 351 windsor engine into an early mustang and need to use the duraspart distributor but I don’t have the wiring set up in the mustang that the electronic distributor needs. The engine is an 1985

First off, welcome aboard!

Secondly, you can use the DuraSpark distributor, brain box and coil on your older Mustang, you just need to do one or two simple wire changes coming from the ingnition switch. Do a little search of the site for DuraSpark upgrades, then you will be set.

Keep the duraspark, using used parts you can make it work for 50 bucks or less. No need to go back to a problematic points style. As said above do a good search there is plenty of info on this.

 

thanks I will investigate more

 

there is a lady up in the garage and workshop forum who goes buy 'chells56', who has her own web site and on that web site is the exact conversion you are looking for and she has a great wiring diagram and instructions and even an old guy like me found it understandable and it works perfect , bob

 

Thanks Bob, I was just about to mention her website!

Welcome to FTE, smokee

 

the site sounds like the one I want; but I can't find it or her! is there a special way (that I'm not aware of) to find that particular site?

if you want to use points why dont you get an old dist,before 74.you can use a 351c,351m,or 460 by changing the cog.

 

go to the garage and workshop forum and look for ms_michell / girls like big garages too. if I knew how to move the link here , I would , sorry ,bob
