View Full Version : What distributor to use
I have been having trouble with my stock distributor it will just cut out under full load and come back. Now it is dead I tried replacing the module and nothing,so I just want to replace it all together with a good aftermarket, the is a 89 5.0, I just want to eliminate the computer hookup to the distributor and go either mechanical or vacum advance. I have a Crane ignition box and coil. what distributor works great in the 5.0 that is not connected to the computer.
Thanks

Msd, Crane, Or Stock Vac. Adv. Would Work With Your System...........

I have msd8582(I think)Mech advance, works in conjunction with my msd box and blaster3 coil. It's a stand alone system. Pain to get the correct roller gear installed. sent it to msd to be changed took almost 2 mos, to get it back...but now all is good.
WHat car are you using this on. And what do you mean by the right roller gear.

I Have A 91 Roller Block And Roller Cam With An 82 Machanical Dist. Didnt Change The Gear On It Very Little Wear On The Gear Its Been Like This For A Couple Years No Problems...........the Dist.goes Striate To The Msd Box So You Can Bypass The Computer In Your Car..........
