460 Non EEC Distributor

The new Stator Assembly from Ford.


Put it in, started right up and running great! Checked timing and enjoyed a drive.

Did discover in all this that the distributor was off a tooth, much calmer now.

I would recommend a Ford part.

I’m second guessing myself on the other stators I tried after the first one because I found an alligator test lead was giving me trouble. But I don’t think I took the leads with me.

So, the assembly from Ford Parts Giant is great! And I found an Emissions and Diagnostic manual for 1986 on eBay.

Thanks Dane!  
That could be real helpful to someone in the future.

After driving it cold I found it was hesitating on acceleration. Not too bad after it warmed up.

Went to check the vacuum advance and there wasn’t any! Got a vacuum advance can ordered and it came in today.

Much better, advanced the timing a little more and it’s performing well.

Did you go with the stock Motorcraft advance?
Or did you get the adjustable Crane  Cams advance unit?

I got the Echlin from NAPA, it’s adjustable. I put it in the middle of the adjustment and it seems fine.

That's good to know.
I use the Echlin DSII module, but ordered the Crane advance because it was a known  thing

Update, I put the jets my Holley came with back in, 66’s, I put 64’s in it before I installed it for the elevation I’m at.

I like it much better so far. Just seemed too lean.
