George, here is the new post. It clearly states it is for a 351C. I guess you were set up.......I only bought it yesterday so have not even seen it yet.
..........................................................................................................................
Their web site does not indicate a 351C distributor is available. Either they mistakenly believe the 302 dizzy will fit, or they have a new model not yet advertised on their web site.
I feel like I was set-up.

From their latest ebay auction:
The DIS-8 features:
100% OUTPUT TO 12,000 RPM!
AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWNS, IF IGNITION SWITCH IS LEFT ON WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
CNC MACHINED ALUMINUM ROTOR FOR PRECISION TIMING ACCURACY.
SMART TIMING- DIS8™ TELLS YOU WHEN PLUG #1 FIRES, MAKING INSTALLATION SIMPLE.
BUILT IN TACH DRIVER.
2 RX-2™ 60,000 VOLT DUAL COIL PACKS.
CENTRIFICAL ADVANCE FOR TUNABILITY.
ELECTRONICS ECM SEALED INTO LID- NO EXTERNNAL BOX REQUIRED!
******This is a complete system for all carburated Ford 351C and 460 motors.******
The valve cover brackets shown in the above photo are NOT included in this auction. HIGH PERFORMANCE 8mm SPARK PLUG WIRES ARE INCLUDED! Please specify black, blue, red, or yellow wires at the end of the auction.
We currently have 3 of these systems available.
These units are designed, manufactured, and assembled in the United States of America. We stand behind our products and offer a 1-year warranty protecting against any manufacturing defects. Compare this with the poor quality knock-off products that have flooded the market and you'll see that the Compu-Tronix DIS-8 system is the best value for your hard earned money. This is absolutely the highest quality and best performing ignition system available any where. Don't continue to rely on 30 year old technology that simply doesn't hold up to your high performance demands!

My questions to them and their answers:
: Hi, I have several questions. #1. Is the unit smaller than a distributor? I have four Webers and it is a mid engine car and I am concerned about clearance problems as the distributor is between the rear window and the Webers, very close to each. #2. I have a roller cam. Is the drive gear compatable? #3. What is the price of an extra coil pack and how long do they last? #4. Is the system o.k. for everyday street use? #5. What internal bearings does it use? #6. Are the coil mounts available and what price? #7. I have 180 degree headers that come very near the valve covers - how is extreme heat on this system? #8. My MSD 7AL2 ignition system now provides plenty of spark and burns the extra gas that the Webers tend to leave at lower rpms. How does this system compare to that? Thanks, Steve Feb-10-09
A: 1. The mechanical trigger is 3.5" in diameter and 5" tall. 2. The distributor gear is a steel alloy. Check with your cam manufacturer for recommended gear material. 3. Replacement coil packs are $94.95. Sorry, no specific number on how long a coil will last. They're made by an OE manufacturer and are designed to last a very long time. 4. Yes, the system is designed for everyday street use. 5. Upper sealed bearing and a lower bronze bushing. 6. As stated in the auction, the coil mounts shown are not available. The coils can be mounted any where. A mounting kit is available for $24.95. Includes steel or aluminum stand offs that are welded to desired location. 7. You might consider NOT mounting the coils on the valve covers if heat is an issue. As said in 6, the coils can basically be mounted anywhere. 8. CD ignitions have a short, intense spark output. Inductive ignition systems such as our DIS unit have a very hot long spark output which helps to burn more of your air/fuel charge and increase combustion efficiency. Thank you for you interest.
