Gotcha. So for the most part on these Duraspark systems, you can upgrade one piece at a time without problems? Coil, then control box later, etc? Sorry to hijack the thread.

Berry your ok man, if I were to really be upset bout you using the existing subject to ask the questions you need answers to, I wouldn't be getting any help.
I know first hand that the Duraspark system will be FINE with a piece by piece installation, my 77 gave me no problems, when I was talking to my friend about it and my neighbor said to change my points, yea well, I think just a new set of points will work, if I find any problems with it I'll be sure to seek you out and let you know.
and if you look at what silverstreak wrote, I never thought of it that way, but he is correct.

I wouldn't buy anything but MSD. I took a plug out and cranked the engine over and it looked and sounded like an arch welder. Never had a bit of trouble with anything in our system.

By posting this thread, I've learned one thing, it's definitely a work of preference, not surety, I'll never shun someone for being against MSD or any other aftermarket manufacturer out there, but I hope people don't shun me for choosing what I choose.

Couldn't agree more. I bought MSD originally after reading a lot about multiple systems and brands and have never had a problem with any of the stuff we bought. I do know that there are several well known brands that make products that are as good as if not better than the MSD stuff I just have never used it.

I need a LOT of parts.
Front Clip
Steering Column (With Turn Signal switch, without the column shift, my trucks a floor shift 4-spd)
hood hinges
possibly a Power Steering Pump
to list the major things.
I'm looking for a roll bar aside from the important parts.
Wants/Needs, I think we all understand what outweighs the other.
PM me if you can help, I will pay, I just don't have a lot of cash to work with.
