New dizzy
I just did some research about replacing the orginal dizzy. However, I feel that I didn't get my questions answered.
I need to replace the orginal dizzy and I don't want to put a rebuilt one back in. I would prefer to do a upgrade. What would be the best for a little money? The dizzy I'm replacing is on a 70 302. I have already replaced the intake and carb from 2 barrel to 4 barrel and I'm looking at getting headers for it too.
Any ideas what product to use?
Thanks

dizzys don't equal cheap a whole lot of the time. it all depends on what you want to do with your truck in the future. If you can get lucky you might find a good one at the junk yard. there are a lot of things you can do with a 302 from what i've heard and i know the guys will chime in.

There are some cheap (comparatively speaking) knock offs out there like PRO-COMP. But I believe you get what you pay for.
If your dizzy is solid except for points and cond. then a quick cheap upgrade is the Pertronix unit and coil.
If not then Mallory, MSD, Accel etc..
