Thanks. It may be up for replacement, since it's one of the oldest wear
parts on that engine. When I do, I was thinking ICE ignition since I have it
on my Pantera, and it works perfectly. Besides, having an Aussie ignition is
exotic J.



Anybody else out there has ICE? Any issues?



Mikael

Ended up removing the Mallory Dist and module and putting a points (!) Accel
Dist in, all problems gone


Be aware that Accell points distributors, like all mechanical assemblies,
have a soft spot. The points  cam is a slip-fit on the central shaft, and is
located with a woodruf key. Because the central shaft is hollow, the surface
that holds the key is not very thick. After many years in our 351-C, the key
slot in my Accell widened enough that my ignition timing varied according to
the phase of the moon, time of day and driver's attitude. Sure, its fixable
by brazing or other extreme measures, but I went to a Ford Duraspark
ignition which does not have the problem. This was the super-Accell with a
needle bearing support for the upper part of the central shaft; didn't help
this problem, which seems to be prevalent on all points Accells; check the
cam occasionally for looseness. FWIW- J Deryke
