pros and cons of swapping out distributor
Thinking of swapping out my factory distributor with a electrontic version. Any recommendations on what type will preform best with my 240?

tudor,
The Duraspark distributor is an easy switch.
But I agree with Convincor too, (I've got a Pertronix in my bump and the Ranchero as well and love them).

Get the durospark out of a 300 and get a box (Durospark, MSD ect).

Then you will need to recurve it to your 240. which is easy.sideoilerfe wrote:Get the durospark out of a 300 and get a box (Durospark, MSD ect).
