| Whilst all goings on with me not existing in the forum I had to replace the near worn out distributor on the old beast. The options I had were repair the existing, upgrade the existing to electronic or MSD. For a number of reasons I went with the MSD and so far am extremely happy with the results. I went for the billet 8383 and it went in without a hitch the truck runs smoother and noticebly cooler. Anyone considering the upgradeI believe would not be dissapointed.
 Hang loose and enjoy the ride.Brisbane Australia |

| | Thanks for the report, 56 effie. Good to see somebody making Y-block ( and also fits Lincoln Y-block if you use your LYB gear ) distributors. If you needed a crank or con rods you could have somebody grind them out of a lump of metal. But a dizzy is something complex that needs to be made for the application. |

| Thanks for this thread. I have been considering this for my project. The thought about running cooler really intrigued me. I think that I will go this way.

| 56effie, I forgot to ask where you got the distributor. Where is the best place to buy MSD products?

| I'm also running that distributor, and in addition I just added a MSD 6AL to the mix. It's running wonderfully.

| Has anyone used a Petronics? An MSD is expensive as hell. Back "in the day" I used a ford dual point. Was the best thing going back then. I would like to have an electronic distributor, alternator and electric windshield wipers. One of these days I'll get all of this caught up on my "56 Customline Victoria" that I just "rescued" from the snow and ice in Colorado after being in storage for 27 years .. Good stuff on this site though.
