What kind of distributor is it? I have seen several Dura-sparks come from a rebuild house with the vacuum advance turned all the way in. That will...

I went to the lacal parts store and bought a flex plate for a mid late 80's early 90's F150 with a 5.8/aod clint
That makes since. I didn't think about the rub block wearing down. I used a Dura-spark for a while with mine then went to an MSD and couldn't tell...
I am still curious why you need the Pertronics AND the MSD6 box. I thought the MSD 6 would use the points as a switch with no current thus the...
I kind of think that way. My 71 F100 had around 275K miles on the original 9" before the center chunk was ever pulled. Gears and bearings were...
The pertronix ignitor is the point eliminator kit right? Why run it at all? The points will work with the MSD6 and last forever. I ran .055 when I...

It made a seat of the pants difference in the 351w and the 460 I did it to. If it needs changing and his looks like there is slack on both side I...

Wasn't the cam timing backed up several degrees on those engines like the 460 were for emissions? If so I would had a rollter timing gear set on...
I try and get a real set of shop manuals for each of my cars or trucks. They have much, much more information in them then the parts store books clint

I DID say it was Mother Earth NEWS. lol These were the guys trying to get 80mpg out of a 5000lb Carbed Dodge back in the day. lol I do think that...

One of the MPG tricks that I use to see in places like Mother earth news was running the gas line around the exhaust manifold so that it was...
Either find a one or two man shop out in the country or small town that has been in business for years and have them do it or do it yourself. If...
Yeah, I tried using an O2 sensor and mulit-meter once. It worked like it was supposed to but sure was not worth a crap going down the road trying...
