Wrong!!"Stuff" is the right word. It's HUGE. It won't clear a Monte Carlo bar or even a decent air cleaner. Waste of money IMHO.
Wrong!!
It WILL clear a curved Monte Carlo bar. The problem is the air cleaner. Need the holley 13" air cleaner. The 14" is a no go.
Go with the REAL HEI ,DUI. ( Davis Unified) Seven years and counting. Not one issue!
I run the car about once a year. So it sits for a good ten months at a time. After time, try that with a coil.
Ok... so it wont' fit.
For now, I want to get this thing running.
I have an accel coil.
I need a dizzy, and a balast or resistor or something, correct? Can you point me in the correct direction for this? I've been more of an EFI guy my whole life.
Thanks!
I certainly will want new.
This will be a show car/cruise car but I also would just personally trust something new.
The previous guy tried mating the newer efi dizzy to the old motor and all... but he never knew why it didn't run. At least he changed the gear out. But as far as the setup goes, I can probably just buy a stock replacement somewhere then, no?
Ford cars have a resistance wire built into the main wiring harness, so no resistor is required.
A stock reman from NAPA or similar will get you going just fine. Any distributor must be curved to your car, new or reman, they never meet specification out of the box.
There IS no main wiring harness. The guy had wires running through where the dash was supposed to be. He hacked it worse than a bad chuck norris joke. I ripped it all out and am starting fresh.
OK, I have. My 66 stock dual point with coil sat for 5 years, and it started right up on the first spin.
Anything beyond Pertronix I (to eliminate occasional point adjustment) is a waste of money. The guys I know around here have trashed a lot of MSD. HEI, MSD are the current version of the big yellow Accel coil, and they all remind me of the saying "Most fishing lures are intended to catch fishermen". It's not that all this fancy ignition doesn't work, it's that it does not return a horsepower increase commensurate to the expense. Mickey Thompson had a specially equipped Thunderbolt, which featured a pair of Chrysler Hemi heads adapted to the Ford 427 engine. It ran really strong, and yet the ignition system was:
