FOR 1977 AND OLDER VEHICLES

*1977 And Older 304 & 360 CID V-8 Engines With The Delco Breaker Points Style Distributor. You have three choices:
1. Upgrade to the Motorcraft distributor & DuraSpark ignition module, and add the upgrades described above for the Motorcraft distributor.
2. Use an electronic ignition conversion kit for the Delco distributor. If you install an electronic trigger in the Delco distributor, you may use the DuraSpark or MSD ignition modules, but you will have to go to the aftermarket for adequate distributor caps & rotors.
3. Use an MSD ignition module that will work with breaker points. You will still have to go the aftermarket for adequate distributor caps & rotors.

*1977 And Older 304 & 360 CID V-8 Engines With The Prestolite Electronic Ignition. The Prestolite Distributor can easily be recognized by the large vacuum advance canister just below the distributor head. AND THE DEAD GIVE AWAY IS THE VACUUM ADVANCE IS MADE OF PLASTIC. The only choice you have is to upgrade to the Motorcraft Distributor and DuraSpark or MSD Module.
