You'll need the distributor out of a 2.8L Pinto. Aside from the distributor everything else should work.

Check out the Duraspark II articles in the Tech Library.

Duraspark will run noticeably better, and not need to have quality points purchased and installed twice a year to run well.


A duraspark setup will cost as much as a points dizzy and 5 sets of quality points. Do the math.
