I am trying to rewire my 55 F100 with a 428, have an E/Z wiring harness, new light switch, ignition switch, with starter button, going to try and get a one wire altenator and an electronic distributor. I can figure out the dash, havig trouble with the rest. Thanks, STEVE

Your new wiring harness does not accomodate the rest? It doesn't have wire for the ignition switch and the light switch?

The one wire alt is easy. One wire to the battery, that's it.

What type of electronic ignition are you going to run?

I would look for a 360 or 390 with a duraspark II system on it.

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:
