Hi folks. I am pondering on what to do with my stock ignition system on my 71 Ford F250 360 ci. I would like some unbiased, experienced, non commercially endorsed opinions.

My question is this. Do you think a transitorized long duration inductive system is better/worse than a single spark CDI system for my truck's stock setup? How bout against a multi spark CDI system?

I'm kinda under the impression that manufacturers have us brainwashed into thinking we need all this electronics and that it will perform h.p. and mileage miracles.

Thanks

I would start with the `Pertronix` http://www.pertronix.com/ignitor.htm module and kiss the points good by..

The simplest MSD runs about 85.00-90.00 ( MSD 5 )..
The MSD type of ignition add ons give you a Long Duration spark that really is the way to go.
You could convert to the `duraspark` ignition that is stock ford for the bargain price catagory at the junk yard./
OR a used/rebuilt dist (`duraspark`) and a new madule..

You can do a Search on this site and get more info on ignition conversions!!
