Conversion from electronic to points

wiggy · 05-30-2001, 10:25 AM

Another problem that I am having is the ignition. How do I wire up the ignition/distributor if I want to change to points? Or can I run the Daraspark ignition even though i took the computer harness out. Theoretically, as per the wiring diagram, it can be wired up and bypass the computer. Is this possible? I'm trying to stay on a limited budget right now and get this car on the road. I know I have to buy a 351 distributor, what else is needed?
Thanks!

I'm not sure on your specifics but make sure your distributor drive is made of steel. 85 and later cams had steel drive gears and earlier ford distributors didn't. It will fit right in but it will get eaten up quickly.
