1975 Ford Ranger ignition conversion
My truck: 1975 F-250 Ranger 5.9/L 360 manual transmission had been stalling and gassing up so I had the carburetor rebuilt and have yet to put it back on. After it’s installed I was considering converting to electronic ignition. (never done this before) I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on if this could be successful. I pulled the Dist/coil and control unit ( Not a Duraspark like most)off a 1980 F-250 not sure of the engine size it was pretty beat up.

1975 should be an electronic ignition?! late 1974 is when they converted (according to Chilton). And from everything that I read the Duraspark is an awesome dist. you can't do much better! the only reason I want to add a MSD is to get the rev limiter. I would definately swap to a 8mm wire.
