just ask about a ford duraspark ignition, they came in ALOT from what i understand.... your best bet would be our generation of F-series or the next generation i'd think.

no, I have a offenhouser c series. you have to mount the carb with outside fuel bowl on yours toward the valve cover. you have a duel plane manifold, which is actually more street friendly. you can get a locar throttle cable to work that one, here is a link to a friend of mine who is makeing the build you are asking about
390 to 300 swap photos ( <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink -->1 <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink -->2 <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink -->3 <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink -->4 <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink -->5 <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink -->)

post a picture on here, I'm not sure what you mean. I had to use a spacer to allow my carb because of clearance of the throttle linkage. there should be no need for 2 spacers.

ok i got that spacing figured out. Now which way do i mount it. Does the fuel inlet tube face the valve cover, or does it face the pass. side fender? it can only go those 2 ways so im thinkin it has to face the valve cover so i can hook up my linkage.


What mods will i have to do for my linkage to hook up. need to be longer cable, bracketry? im doing this proj this weekend.

also one last thing check these links out and tell me if this dist. coil. and ign module will work

this is the dizzy...
