I just bought a distributor at the local AutoZone autoparts store. Was in stock at the store - no special order or anything for a 1972 302. $39 wth a $30 core charge.
maverick distributor Here's a follow-up to my original request for info about electronic distributor system. I haven't been able to find original parts and therefore have go to Pretronix Inc and ordered a Ignitor 1261 apparently designed for the IL6 250ci. When it arrives, next week I hope, I'll get it installed and report back to this forum how successful it is. Thanks for the reply from dmhines.
I'm junking a 76 this weekend with a 250. Anybody want to convert their 6 to Ford Duraspark ignition?
You have Mustang supply companies in Canada. They can supply one. There pretty much all the same for the 302.
PerTronix Igniter Here's a report on the installation of the PerTronix igniter. My distributor on the 250 IL 6 was getting run down, and I needed to replace it but had problems finding a replace- ment. I'm betting on the PerTronix Igniter that I had put in my car last week. So far so good. The IL6 seems to be motoring along with no constant burps. The shaft and bushings needed replacing, but with the Igniter I'm able to get the electronic parts to take up the slack and compensate for the shaft travel. I'll stay in touch by providing you with another report in about a month. Cheers, Mike
