What's everyone's opinion of aftermarket -- MSD, Mallory, etc. --
distributors? After they worth the extra dollars over a stock replacement on a near stock 5-liter engine? If so, what brand do you recommend? Patrick |

All the experts and "experts" that I have talked to over the years said there's no reason to replace the stock distributor on a 5.0 unless it's defective. -- "Listen asshole, this case is not closed.

Just get a stock rebuild with an OEM hall-effect sensor.

One of the screw holes that secure the ignition module are stripped, and Locktit didn't help, so I need to replace my distributor. Due to the advice given here, I ordered a stock replacement unit. Anyone want to share tips on how to install the new one? Patrick |
