[BroncoStar]

Havnt heard of this one yet but Im thinking on purchasing one but first I wanted to know if there has been any issues with them before?

Are you talking about the GM HEI unit that's been adapted to a Ford distributor? My dad runs one on his 302-powered hot rod - it is a very nice dizzy and very simple.

 

[BroncoStar]

yes, the one on ebay

Will buy it then because man o man budget isnt where it needs to be to spend 250 for the distributor kit

that one is cheap...POS! remember you get what you pay for %)

pro comp sell em outta summit. I know of a few folks that had them break.

the best one's are DUI but very high priced.

good luck!

What would be a not-so-expensive one that I could run ? and where could I buy it?

They are also known for interference issues with the air cleaner and the bottom of the hood. Don't know of any good cheap ones.

Cheap? not so much! Been running one on my Mustang for 5 years....Cheap is the JBG dizzy! This one is what I had on my Bronco for awhile and was very happy with it!

Ive had the Procomp on my bronco from 2005 to 2009, I went EFI, but today went back to carb. I have a 351W, 2 inch body lift. No hood interference, but air cleaner could be an issue. I run the original air cleaner, opened up a bit, with a K&N. Love it, missed it, damn glad to have it back

Any pictures showing your set up Junebug?

They are more expensive but Davis Unified Ignition (DUI) makes a good one wire distributor.

here's an answer to air cleaner issues when using hei distributors.

not a good pic but the hole for the carb is not in the center of the base, its off set so it mover the air cleaner housing backwards to clear the distributor.

that is what i used before i went efi

it also is low profile to clear the hood.

I have a pic of what it looks like at the end of the day today. All major stuff is installed, but still need to clean it up, make a harness for the oil sender, water temp, tach and power source for the dizzy. Just cant figure out how to post the pic.
