I run Model 1281DV in my duel point Ford distributer. One uses the same cap and rotor but install fresh wires if they are 5 years old or more.I have had mine installed for 25 years.I keep a spare kit on hand but so far I have not needed it. Simple install with just 2 wires to the coil and then set the timing. In a message dated 3/18/2025 4:20:25 PM Central Daylight Time, terry.himes@pncnet.com writes: I'm no expert but... I weigh in with 100% Standard Distributer with Petronix. After my engine rebuild I did that and it was excellent and has been 100% reliable. Simple and Stable.

I understand Petronix is the recommended device to do the swap? Any thing with the distributor itself? Can keep stock Disty? Any recommended Petronix specifically for 351 Cleveland/Pantera? Any installation tips etc.....
