| RE: MSD 8594 Pro billet Distributor for the GT390 |

I like the stock distributor, but I'm just a sucker for factory castings.
Upgrading to a REAL ignition amplifier like the 6AL will get you the performance you seek. Retrofit a Ford electronic ignition into the stock distributor (it's an easy swap using 302/351/400/460 guts from the 75ish to 83ish era) or a Unilite or Pertronix trig, the "coil of your dreams" (no need to overdo it if you ain't supercharged or running killer fuel), a Duraspark cap conversion, and Duraspark fat wires will buy you all the performance you need without the extra bucks for a new distributor. Besides, the "stock" look of a stock distributor pays for itself.
You will wanna verify the old distributor has OK bushings (no slop), and you WILL need to have the advance springs recurved by a distributor wiz for your performance application.
If this seems to messy, go ahead with your distributor purchase and let us know how it turns out. I've never dropped the bucks for an aftermarket distributor, so I don't know how well they work. I'll bet you still gotta recurve the suckers.
JMO,
Shoe. |
