What electronic ignition do you guys recommend for a 352 ci ?

 

I really like the MSD distributors and boxes because they are so easy to tune.
They are expensive, though, and the actual performance gains aren't that huge over the oem ignitions.
You can use the electronic boxes and distributors from later model 360 trucks if you want to eliminate points.
Pertronix makes a conversion for the stock points distributor also but I haven't used it myself.

pertronix has never failed me

 

X2 on the Pertronix, especially if you like the stock look.

 

I like my CRT Performance HEI. None of the wires are the right length but the price was right.

 

I run the factory Duraspark on my '65. People knock them over failed modules, but I've been driving Fords for 30 years and have only replaced one.

 

DuraSpark electronic ignition introduced in 1974, but not all vehicles came with it until 1976.

But...which Dura/Spark ignition module are you using? Of the 5 different modules used between 1974/79, two were troublesome turds and one was a POS from day one!

These 3 modules failed so often that Ford techs/partsguys referred to DuraSpark as NeverSpark!

 

I bought a hei dizzy. I would have used a DS but I couldn't find one in the JY that had the wiring harness.

I wonder why no one makes a reasonably priced conversion harness. Tons of pre-74 Ford owners would purchase them me thinks.

 

Pertronix. Drop in install, dead reliable, inexpensive. Have one in my truck going on 11 years, forget it's in there.

 

I have been installing the duraspark (blue) module in my fords for years.

I have a book somewhere that says that the stock duaspark is good until like 7K. I think its the Chris Austin one?

I have a factory 77 cab and chasis that has the factory one still in it after all these years as well.

there are usually harnesses on the old fords at your favorite pull a part type junkyard and you can get a new dizzy pretty cheap that should work in you engine.

 

Those DS harnesses are like unicorns around here.

That seeme to be one of the first things that goes. Its been a long time since Ford sold a carby engine. When they hit the P-N-P they get worked over pretty quick.
