Another alternative: Ford's electronic ignition will drop right into a Ford points distributor. The electronic ignition unit doesn't even have to be from an FE...one from ANY Ford V8 will bolt in. The only thing to look for is the control box must have a blue wire strain relief where the wires exit the control unit. Any other color signifies computer control or some other variance.
