What Distributor Options do I have???

[69clark]

With the new cartech intake I will be running it looks like I will have issues with the size of the dizzy. I was wondering what options I have to run a smaller dizzy.
I would like to hook into the factory wiring harness so that the ecc controls the timing and so that I can tune the timing table with the Tweecer I have. Maybe this won't be possible, so I am researching my options now. I know UPR sells an adaptor to run a smaller msd cap, but I don't know much about this peice, so any more info than what they put on their website would be great. Thanks guys.

I know that one of the fox supercharger kits relocates the distributor o a pulley under the alternator, but I'm not sure which kit.

Distributor pulley?

Any other ideas guys! Couldn't find much info from that site on DIS, except that that car utilized it.

..... what kinda plus wires would you use lol im so confused lol and explain to me how that would work lol

I don't remember on which forum I saw it, but he mounted a true roots type blower on top and relocated the distributor on the passenger side of the car with a pulley where the gear would be and it was run on a belt that kinda looked like a timing belt. The belt ran down to the crank. I guess he used custom length wires. On the DIS, I would guess that you could do it easier if you used the computer out of a Mountaineer and ran the DIS out of it. I've heard that the DIS is much better than our old style distributor system. The guy on that page converted to a 96 computer and spliced in a bunch of the 5.0 pigtails. Since you have a tweecer, I think it would also work on a Mountaineer computer.

Anyone?

Ya'll remember that ... BXR or something like that ... intake
back several years ago

Didn't it require a dizzy relocation of some kind or the other

Maybe ... you could find something from that to help you

How about going to a coil pak thingy like the newer cars

hey i dont know if you have seen this or really how much room you have to play with but i was looking into getting this distrubitor.... you can get small cap or large cap http://www.cranecams.com/?show=promo&id=16

Tom, where's the interference at with your current distributor? Is the cap just too large to fit up against the intake? I might be inclined to give Cartech a shout and see what they have to say/recommend. (210) 333-1642 is the number listed on their site. I would imagine someone has come up against this problem before, so they should know of a solution. Other than that, maybe post over in the Fox section and see if any of those guys have run this intake and what they did about the cap?

 

[69clark]

Yeah, I figured I would do that, just haven't had a chance because I can't call from work, but I can post from work! lol

I know I have seen people discuss this here as well, and I remember some of the solutions, but I was just looking to cheat and pick some brains on here. lol

go with a coil on plug setup, someone here just did it on a 351 stroker i think
