Mallory makes a dual point, and Davis Unified makes an electronic. That, or a Duraspark setup with the MSD boinstructions say how to do it).

If you run MSD, you also need to open up the plug gap to .044-.045" to use that extra voltage.

I was running A Mallory UNILITE 47 series unit Mallory part #4563101 for 2 or 2 1/2 years, and the Ignition Module went bad.

It cost $373.99 new, and the UNILITE® Ignition Module, part number 605, is around a $100.

The stock distributor being powered by a MSD 6A box and Blaster 2 coil is doing just fine in the spark department.

Just my 2 pennies

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:


http://www.performancedistributors.com/forddistributors.htm


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