If he's running Pertronix ignition Dave, that's not a Ford system. It's a system for converting points and condenser to electronic. My 87 Liberator had the so called "Thunderbolt Ignition" in it. My father in law used to love to tease me about the name....but I digress....

I'll explain - the original distributor (all of it) was replaced with electronic ignition, a prestolite electronic ignition system. Prestolite no longer is in that business. Pertronix makes the ignition module replacement for the prestolite electronic ignition. It's a drop in replacement.
