What came with a duraspark distributor in 1968? I thought the duraspark came out in 1975.carloperatoner wrote:Can anyone point me in the right direction...
I have a 70 F250 with a 360 ci engine...
It has a standard point setup and I got a duraspark setup from the bone yard....
I got another distributor at the yard today to do the swap of the insides... I have noticed that the shaft is about 1/2 longer on the point distributor than the duraspark....
Duraspark part number C8VF 12131 B
Point style D0ZF 12131 A
I suspect that I have an incorrect duraspark distributor to use as a donor, since the shaft is too short.
Any thoughts on the best one to get at the yard?

After 40+ years, anything is possible. You never know who modded what, where, on a vehicle that old.
