Reply to "Parts needed to convert duraspark?"

Totally understand the comment around the MSD distributor. But I would like to go with Ford distributor as a trigger, as the cost differential is quite high. Ford Dizzy for maybe $100 vs. $300 for a MSD. I could get the AL6-2 and the duraspark for the price of just the MSD dizzy. you know.

I have also read that the ford duraspark is actually quite easy to adjust. Well other than the curve...

So if you know the specifics of the Ford Duraspark distributor that would be great. I believe a 400M one should work? But not completely sure, and certainly not clear on if I would have to change the gear drive wheel?

As for the engine. 1971 351c 4v heads, dished piston, 290HR roller cam, roller rockers, 750 DP, etc.

Thoughts?
