Didn't anyone hear me say...something along those lines? I think you guys just want to hear what you want to? No problem at all for me. I'm just trying to share what I know on the subject. I am not the expert on it.
DU. Points are a thing of the past here too. If you are going to replace that distributor my suggestion is to use the pointless Motorcraft unit with the separate brain.
It can be plugged into aftermarket CPU's painlessly if need be and if you need parts for it here you can get them at just about any part stores. I don't know about Australia though. Everything is kind of upside down there and all those Joeies jumping around and Dingos howling and the moon and all?
Fords replacement parts although not perfect by any means are still the best by far. Mallory and MSD should be deported as illegal immigrants in my opinion. None of there parts are made here.
Better yet, just load them into a cannon a shoot them back to where the came from. The stuff, although admittedly pretty, is crap. Don't want to listen, ok. Better carry a spare distributor with you in my opinion. Of course how you are going to do a distributor in a Pantera roadside is a pretty neat trick?
