Thanks, I had a hard time find Daves link.
As much as I loved my Mallory Unilite, I'm probably going this route on the kid's blue 67 coupe. My RS is only a weekend car, so I'll probably leave the stock points unit in there.
Back when I had my 68 RS, I did a lot of research on performance ignition systems at the time (circa 1986-88). I was working at Kragens while I was in school, and I bought a Unilite off a buddy who had all Fords (never could figure out where it came from
) for $50. No cap and rotor, but I bought replacements then did a warranty exchange at work for a new unit.
I know not 100% Kosher, but at least I had a new distributor. I did a lot of other things like run 8.8 mm wires and indexed my plugs, etc. so I'm not 100% sure how much better the Unilite was over the stock points setup.
Still, it was great working at Kragens at the time with that 25% employee discount.
