last time I bought a new Duraspark box it was around $80, and an HEI modual is around $30.. the distributors are a good retrofit. my Falcon had 1. but I used an MSD box to control it. did get the modual for it, but returned it shortly after and then got the MSD

An Airtex is ~$30, a Standard is ~$56. The MOST I ever paid for one was less then $30 and that was a Standard for my 'bucket in 1988!!!! Whoinhel wants to screw around with bastardizing a 30 year old pickup ignition system unless he was doing a lot more then using it as a DD!!!!

And yes, the ignition pickup that used to be ~$12 is the source of many headaches - and they are now close to $30
