PULLING DS DIZZY: The whole distributor?

Putting together the scavenger list for my boneyard venture. Wanting to do the DSII conversion on my '59 F100 w/ early 300 I6.

Do I pull the whole damned distributor or just the upper part?

To remove the distributor is it just two bolts and slide her out of the block?

Thanks,
Jon

Pull the whole distributor. It's very easy. There's one bolt that holds it down and once it's removed, just pull the unit out. Be sure to keep the bolt and clamp.

Don't forget to grab all the wiring too, including the coil and control box. Doubt it'll cost any more.
