1983 351W engine problems
Well, I have a 83 F150, with that ever so crazy EEC-III system on it. It ceased firing at all, we can't figure out why. So we had the brainstorm to put in a REAL distributor (with the magnetic pickup inside, unlike the crank pos. sensor). But we ran into a problem. The oil pump drive is longer on the old distributor than this replacement witch is suppose to be for a 351W. BTW, we're putting in a MSD-6AL to bypass the stock ignition..
My question is.... Is this distributor something special to the '83 engine, can we find a replacement that has the mag pickup, or are we screwed untill we figure out the stock (hopeless) ignition?
Thanks,
Matt
