need some distributor info

Blue Bomber · Jan 14, 2009

i need a new (or new to me anyways) dizzy. i want to know if its the same as one on a small block ford. if so i can get a good used one cheap at a speed shop i know of that sells used race stuff. i love walking around that place.

Do you have a parts # or pic to try and determine if it'll work for you? To be honest, I was a little confused by your question so let me see if I have it:

You have a SB, and need a dizzy. You know where you can get a good used dizzy, but aren't sure if it's compatible with your SB? Did I get that right? If so, like I said earlier, a pic, description or part number would be nice.

Another note, do you have a link, name or address for this second hand race shop? If so, I'd like to check it out. Thanks.

Tell me the exact application.

The term small block is not relevant to Fords.You see the 351C./351M/400 would all be considered small blocks

Engine Families is what counts

The Windsor engines or V-90* engines matters.

The 260/289/302 and 351W possibly the same

IIRC, the 351W is a different firing order.

The Distributor for the 240 is different than a 300.

I think this might work and its a really good brand to

I would just go and get a new one for your motor from auto zone mine was only 30 bucks.

Blue Bomber · Jan 14, 2009

wow. i really didnt word my question well. ok, round 2.
I want to either rebuild my 240 six into a 300 or rebuild a used 300. so i was wondering if a 300 dizzy was interchangable with one from say a 302 or 351 ("W","C" or"M").

TexasNomad · Jan 14, 2009

No I really don't think so Bomber I think the lengths are different..

1985 Ford F-150 · Jan 14, 2009

Gear pitch on the cams might be different too.

Blue Bomber · Jan 14, 2009

that makes me sad. i guess ill have to get a rebuilt one or something. thanks for the help.

1985 Ford F-150 · Jan 14, 2009

TexasNomad · Jan 14, 2009

YOu could go with a v8 swap, it would be allot more fun in that little short bed

Blue Bomber · Jan 14, 2009

nope. the only ford V8 i want is a 351C. and they are a bit pricey for me right now. other than want, i dont need a V8. i really dont need a truck.

TexasNomad · Jan 14, 2009

Hmm!
You really don't that truck do yeah...
Well if you ever really want to sell it let me know..

Blue Bomber · Jan 14, 2009

TexasNomad · Jan 14, 2009

Sounds good man, i've really been wanting to get my hands a short bed for a long time now.

Mil1ion · Jan 14, 2009

You could but how would you divide 8 firing points to a 6 cyl engine ?

TexasNomad · Jan 14, 2009
