Dizzy questions for a carb'd 306

Get a distributor for an 85 mustyang GT with a 5-speed. Do not get the automatic one, totally different. I paid less than $50 for a new one from NAPA. Could probably be found cheaper though.

I never tried the duraspark route. Too much hassle. I used a the module from a GM HEI distributor, mounted it to an old PII heatsink and used that with a MSD coil. You can look on my website for the instructions. Most were not written up be me so I wont take credit but I added some notes and pictures of how I did it. One thing to note is that I found that I do need to use a ballast resistor which is contrary to everything I read. Its cheap and works well. You can even use a factory TFI coil if you have one already.

Another option is using the 85 distributor with an MSD box. With the MSD, you dont need the duraspark box at all. Not totally low buck but cheaper than using the MSD distributor and all.
