Ok, back to the 390.... From what I'm gathering from Numberdummy's post, I can just keep my flywheel, that is unless it's thrashed, but I doubt that it is. I'm going to go with a 650 carb and probably just call comp cams and ask them what the best cam to run for my needs will be. Any suggestions on ignitions? Will the stock ignition system give me enough spark? A friend of my ran pertronix (spelling?) on his f100 that had a 360 in it. He said that really woke the engine up and made it run better. You guys have any experience with that set up? Again, thank all of you for the great input.

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:
Ford Distributors
Also, there is now an excellent installation article on the D.U.I. Distributor on the Ford-Trucks.com site at:

Well Mr. FTE sponsor guy....I took your advice and bought the D.U.I setup and the wires to go with it. I did some research and really liked what I saw. Tell your boss to give you a raise.
