Is this a good dissy?

I found this for sale and I was wondering if it was a good dissy to get? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Worked great for my truck until the LED that runs the UniLite died.

Looking at over $100 just for that little module.

Left my *** stranded.

you would be better off with one of the smaller powermax truck camshafts

--bone stock/stock exhaust would probably benefit more with the crane 500511

--headers, aftermarket intake, 4v carb would probably benefit more with the crane 503901

--your link went to the crane 503941, its just the wrong cam for what your wanting, unless you plan on making changes to the heads/comp ratio and adding more stall/etc etc.

dont be afriad to call comp cams, crane or isky or crower for that matter....they have techs that get paid to do nothing but answer cam questions. you may wanna call someone like reed cams, they could whip up a custom camshaft for you and it shouldnt cost you much more.





check with DUI distributors, they have positive feedback.

then search for the "how to" on building your own electronic ignition system, using the ford duraspark II distributor, gm 4 pin module, ford TFI coil, this setup actually works, and works better than the OE duraspark II dizzy, module, coil. Plus its inexpensive to put together, reman distributor/ new gm module /new tfi coil should be under 100 with new plug wires. Its just not pretty.

I do plan on getting a 4bbl and intake, header and exhaust. I also plan to go .030 with porting. I will check on the "how to", I just heard of that recently just haven't checked into it. I am not doing all this right away, I have to finish body work and paint first. After that I will work on the motor, I am just getting prepared for when I do start the build!

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://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:

Cheap or a Good Value

Our distributors are not available on E-Bay or even Summit. Consideration should be given to "cheap vs a good value."

Please note that our DUI's and Durasparks are:

1) Custom curved on a distributor machine based on your engine specs.

2) We have excellent tech support-each
Distributor is issued an individual I.D. Number, so that if you change cams, pistons, etc., or want to put the DUI distributor in another motor in the future, you can call us with your ID number, have us pull your file, and then discuss whether or not you need to change your advance curve.

3) You talk to one of our employees-in Memphis, TN-not someone in another country. We are a family business that believes in the
performance and racing industry

*Note that we are running a sale now.
