Looking for Distributor for 64 F100

Post by hombre292 »

All,



I am looking to replace my original distributor on my 1964 F100, 292 engine, 3 speed. I want to go to a distributor that is breakerless, no points.



Does anyone know what my options are for this size engine? Do you know a vendor who sells the breakerless distributor? Thanks for your help.

You could convert your existing one to breakerless points with a Pertronix unit. They work quite well. Only problem is that if they die, it is not exactly easy to get a new one at the corner parts place.

If you a little flexible, a cool solution that uses readily available parts is here at:

Doubtless, the Y block fans will soon chime in, but I'd think that even if there is an aftermarket solution, it will not come cheap......

Perhaps power brakes, 300 I6 motor and JUST maybe, AC!
