| 390 distibutor |

I pulled my 390 last week out of my 69 Cougar. I think this subject was covered in the past, and I just wanted to varify. I want to put a Duraspark II system on it, so can I get a 302 distributor and swap the internal components into the 390 dist. case? Will I need to use the original gear, or can I use the 302's gear? I'd probably go down to Napa and pick up a rebuilt distributor for 50 bucks, or is there a better way, if this will work at all? I'm not interested in an MSD box at this time.
32 years and this engine never came apart before.. found one disturbing thing, I know the cam gears have a tendancy to chip the plastic gear, but have you ever seen a gear with all the plastic completely gone (well, it was all in the bottom of the pan), just the chain on the inside aluminum gear with 2 teeth gone, and the car still ran?? I guess that is Ford Tough.. |
