Ignition advice for 351 clevo.

Hi all,

Trying to get the new ute running smooth, she's been sitting around a lot for the last few years and has corroded components on the engine which need to be cleaned up or replaced, like the temp sender - the wiring has fallen out of it it's so badly corroded!

I also have a bad miss, looking at the ignition it's all a bit sad. I intend to throw on plugs, leads, coil, rotor and cap but the dizzy is where I'm not sure. It's an 81 build 351 clevo with electronic ignition and I'm certain the dizzy is original and has never been touched.

So - is this dizzy worth keeping, can they be rebuilt and can they supply a decent spark for LPG teamed up with a good coil?

Or - what setups provide good fat sparks for these engines nowadays, I've seen the Procomp complete setups that are reasonably priced, assume they are an MSD copy ( can't afford genuine MSD), are the Procomp components any good?

Any & all comments and advice welcome - I haven't touched a car with a dizzy or leads in 20 years!

Cheers Brad.
