DUI ignition

To avoid the high cost of a DUI distributor($375), can you buy the coil and module(~$100) and install it on a stock distributor?

No. The dizzy housing is not the same as the factory Ford unit.

Will a DUI setup for a 351C work for a 351W? What's the difference between the two?

If you're looking to go DUI, then you're best bet is to bite the bullet and drop the $375... the dizzy's are custom curved for your application.

I just ordered one myself, should be here the end of next week. I'm replacing my old worn-out dizzy and points on my 390. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

there is a company called proform that makes a 'dui' style dizzy for about 1/2 of what the dui costs. another way to go is in a tech atricle in this site about running a chebby 4 pin module with a duraspark ignition. if you already have the duraspark , the module is about 40 bucks and 1/2 hour time to unstall it , i did it for a friend up here who was broke , it works fine and he has no complaints ,bob
