Just run a duraspark electronic. That is what I run a stock Ford Duraspark ignition and MSD coil. Seems to work for now. I agree with you on the carb. I am running a 750 which I know is way to small. So I am currently looking for something ALOT bigger. Can't wait to hear it run good luck!!!!!!!!!!

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:

Also, there is now an excellent installation article on the D.U.I. Distributor on the Ford-Trucks.com site at:
