I have a '69 F250 with a 360, could have been modified to 390 but not confirmed.
What is the right MSD distributor?
Summit Racing shows model# MSD-8594 for 390-428 FE, single pickup. Is this right.
Is there any difference between distributor for 360 & 390. I don't think so, but not sure, thats why I'm here.

Also, its been a while since I have visited this sight, I remember a search option for threads. Where did it go?

thanks, rob

That's the one you need. I have one on my 390. It's a good bit more expensive than a rebuilt factory unit. But I really didn't like he vacuum voodoo. Adjusting the initial advance, the higher RPM advance limit and the ramp is very easy with thy MSD unit.

Get one with vacuum advance. You need it for gas mileage.
