New ignition for my 289 Ford
Hey folks, Just wanted to pop in a tell everyone, that I got a new ignition for my 48 f1. I didn't realise it at the time ,but I have a Mallory distributor in it,and got the wrong parts at first. It had dual points in it. I wound up ordering the Mallory 61004M ignition. I found it through Amazon, and got it a little cheaper through them. Most all of the others were around $70-$80, and I got this one for $56. It took about 30 minutes to install with a new Mallory coil . I marked the distributor before I pulled it ,and placed it back where it was,and timed it by ear. That rascal started right up. Normally it takes a couple oftrys before she actually starts. But it surprised me when she popped right off first crank. I also installed the new trim rings I found on feebay too. They are stainless chrome plated with ribs. They are about 1 1/4" deep. Some dude had them on there for $35 buy it now. I looked and couldn't find them for any less than $75 a set. So, I'm back on the road again.
