I have the pertronix in mine...no problems with it and have been running it 5-6 yrs. as a daily driver and the last 3-4 yrs. as a 2-3 times a week driver. My brother has the crane setup in his cyclone but have no record of its reliability 'cause it's not on the road yet...hope this helps.

Welcome to FTE!

Pertronix is the best I've heard of, plus they are coming down in price. I saw them in Summit Racing catalog for $75. They were near $100 just a year or so back.

Really simple install too.

Is that underhood generator a ford option? I know they had a "contractors special" or something like that. I've only seen one on Ebay about a year ago. It mounted on Drivers inner fender.

I've been running Ford's Duraspark system for years now. Never a problem, and extra parts are at the local parts store. No waiting a day or two from mail order companies.
