Duraspark I Upgrade - Update

DobiecatMember

Thanks to George P and all of the others that provided insight and technical knowledge on upgrading to a Duraspark ignition system. I purchased a NOS Duraspark I ignition module and coil, along with a rebuilt/upgraded distributor from DUI. What sounded like an easy upgrade took a lot longer than expected because we struggled with getting the distributor gear to fully engage with the camshaft. After a gear swap to the original distributor gear and setting the engine to TDC she finally dropped right in! She struggled to start initially until we advanced the distributor a bit then BOOM, she sprung to life! We set the timing to 14 BTDC and the distributor is 24 degrees all in at 3k rpm. Can't wait to road test her this weekend. She now fires up on the FIRST key turn, idles smoothly, and the exhaust odor is much less. Can't wait to road test her this weekend!
