A points-style 351M/400 never came in a truck, but 1971-1973 full size sedans with a 400 had points. Let me guess, you're building a ratrod?

Well, 71-73 full size sedans (Galaxie, LTD, etc) with a 400 would be your best bet. In this case, don't waste your time on a points distributor. Find yourself a Duraspark II distributor and harness. It will be much easier to find and much more reliable.
