So I went and bought some new stuff and now I need a little help getting it strait in my head before I install. I bought a Pertronix points-eliminator, flame-thrower coil, and non-US distributor for my '73 F155.
1) Where can I draw vacuum for the advance on the dist. if my carb. isn't ported? If the answer is what I think it might be, is it even worth it to go with this dist. over the stock vacuum retard?
2) This setup eliminates the stock ballast resistor right? Just hook up the +/- directly on the flame-thrower coil?
3) Will my stock wires work with the non-US dist. - I've got the used wires that came with it (used), but mine are brand new.
Other than that, does anyone whose done this have any tips ... I know to watch for the oil pump lining up.
Thanks,
Tucker
