running electronic distributor with ford parts
|
Are you using the OEM Ford ignition Module that bolts to the firewall or similar panel?
Do you know what year model car these parts were sourced from?
The earliest version of Fords electonic ignition in 1975 was VERY sensitive to heat, it left MANY people stranded at the side of the road. It is doubtfull that any of these same pieces were left on any running cars that you sourced your parts from, however I would for a matter of general repair, replace the module within the distributor they are abut $15-$30 depending on the brand you choose and also replace the ignition "BOX". The "BOXES" have a different colored plastic base which is how they were identified. At that point you will have a fresh ignition system. The very fine wires that make up the windings of the field module within the distributor are sometimes subject to corrosion and all it take is for that continuous strand of wire to get one break in it to park you at the side of the road.
