Dizzy upgrade

[Dave E]

Would it be worth it to replace a 1973 F dizzy and coil with a 1977 2F dizzy and coil(with ignitor)?? I'm begining to suspect mine are giving me engine problems. I did a search, but I didnt get the info I needed. Thanks for all your help.

If your going to swap go to the tech section page and click on the Jim C distributor link for info. Use one with electronic ignition so you don't need points anymore.

Does anyone have any experience with the "Mel's Ignition" from JT Outfitters? I am considering going to electronic ignition in my '75. They only want $100 and it looks like a pretty easy install. Any opinions are appreciated.

Ive got the Petronix version of the "Mels Ignition" It works great and it is about $25.00 cheaper and install is a little simpler. I definitely reccommend either version! No more points!

I replaced the one in my '73 with the 'big' cap version from a later model (81-87?) 2f. This is one of the best upgrades I have done so far. It cranks better, runs smoother and stronger.

that would be my 1st choice. 2nd would be 79-80 OEM, 3nd would be Pertronix or Mells

Thanks guys,
I had just run into a cheap 77 dizzy and was wondering if it was a good upgrade. I'll go for a later version then.

Thanks
