Title: 223 6 cyl distributor
Post by: hemidave on 2021-04-29 14:08
  A friend is looking foe an HEI, MSD, or Petronix distributor for the 223 6 cyl in his '55 Ford pickup. He has tried all the regular sources. Any thoughts ?

I would be suprised if the 223 market would be big enough to warrant an aftermarket unit. Why not put a Pertronix Ignitor in the original distributor to eliminate the points.

Yes, I suggested one to him, as they are available at Speedway.
