Overall Assessment

Customers highlight the high-quality and practical features of our product, such as its solid construction and inclusion of additional parts to adjust the advance curve. The clear instructions enhance its usability. However, some adaptations may be needed since it sits slightly taller than some models, possibly necessitating coil relocation. A special mention was made that the distributor includes a port for a mechanical tachometer. The product surpassed customer expectations, functioning effectively post-installation.

A solid option for a FordY-block

I installed this on a 1960 292 Y-block in a Ford F250 4x4. The unit came with additional parts to adjust the advance curve and simple, clear instructions. The distributor's quality seems to be solid, and I have no complaints about packing, price, or delivery. A few things to know- this unit sits a few inches taller than the one I took out, which was not a big deal, although I did have to relocate my coil. There is a port for a mechanical tachometer for which I needed to make a small plate to cover since I am using an electronic tach. Follow the directions on that; there is a wire specifically for a tach and an ominous warning not to attach the tachometer to the negative terminal of the coil.
