Distributor options

I have a 78 302 in my f100 with the old dura spark ignition. I was wondering if I could switch to an HEI distributor and if so what is all invlolved in changing it over.

Just buy one and drop it in after you run a new key-on hot wire from inside the cab.

If you decide to get a new distributor, consider our custom curved Duraspark Distributor built with our new Full Length Oil Impregnated Bronze Bushing. The full length bushing improves timing stability and spark scatter. If stock appearance is not an issue, take a look at our one piece D.U.I. Distributor. Whether you choose the Duraspark or the D.U.I., we curve each on a distributor machine based on your engine combination. Please see them at:
