Duraspark Upgrade/Downgrade
I have been reading about upgrading, or downgrading 
, to duraspark from the TFi system.
I was wondering if the 79 Pinto dizzy is the only one you can use?
Wouldn't any 2.8L duraspark dizzy work?
I have access to a 79 MustangII that supposedly has a 2.8L in it, havent gone to see it yet, but would this work?

Yes, I am sure that it would. There are two different distributors and only 1 will work. If the distributer in the Mustang only has 1 vacuum port on the vacuum advance canister it will work.
Remember, there is a wiring difference with your 85.

Thanks. I am really leaning towards the upgrade, that TFI scares me 
LOL
Thanks for the heads up on the wiring, hopefully not a problem I hope.... sort of do that electrical stuff for a living
