Well, I've scored a free 84 Bronco 2, 5 speed, came with the 2150 carb on it. Still using the stock ignition system though. I've been reading that the duraspark system is the way to go, but I can't seem to find anyone giving me good solid benefits to the conversion. I can pick up a distributor and control box from the local yard for $55, but before I dump money into it, I want to know why.
This thing has been sitting for 10 years under a tree, has lichen growing on the doors, and the mice made a meal of a lot of the wiring. I've got to get the fuel line unplugged and bolt the carb back on(it was crudded up from E10 and sitting forever). Has good oil pressure, no coolant in the oil.
Any thoughts, tips, tricks, suggestions are welcome. It's generally going to be a DD, but I wouldn't mind a few upgrades here and there should I want to get muddy.
