What all would I need or have to do to change from points to an electronic ignition. Its for a 71 F100. It has a 302 in it now. Thanks....

 

Go to the FTE home page and click on the Technical Articles link. You should find what you're looking for there.

 

The easiest way is to buy a petronix points replacement modual. It will cost about $60, Takes about 30 min to install. I used one for years on a 1969 300 six. I installed it and never touched it again. And you can keep a set of points in the glove box, just in case it ever goes out on you.

 

I have a 72 F250 With a 360 and converted over
from points to Electronic ignition using a
Crane Cams Fireball XR700 points conversion ignition It uses a infrared optical trigger
and comes with a bunch of diffrent shutters
for all types of engine's 4cyl/8 It was very
easy to change. it cost about $140.00$ but
i saw it in jcwitney for $100. It will work
perfect in your 302 and give a little more hp
and easier cold/hot start's and maybe little
better gas millage works alot like pertonix's
(I think?) but with a fancy external box.
I've had no problems with it and would recomend
it here's a link <a href="http://www.cranecams.com/ignition1/7003000.htm">http://www.cranecams.com/ignition1/7003000.htm</a>
Good luck!!

 

Just to add to my last message also going to the
ford electronic ignition is a good idea if anything brakes it's easier to get replacement
parts!

 

All you need is a Duraspark IV Ford module, matching distributor, and the harness (for the connectors); than it is just a wire in. Put the system on a 351 that I dropped in a 64 Galaxie - works great.
