    Im wanting to put the 2bbl weber on my 62 ranchero it has the 170 in it. From what Ive read so far there is a problem with this carb and the early LOM distributors (like it will run like ****)

    Is my only option converting to that 350 dollar D.U.I. Distributor or is there another distributor that will work. I know the shaft width changed 60-64 have 1/4 and the 65-67 have 5/16 so I cant just swap to the later dist from what I read, but then again that book I got is about as clear as mud.

    I've been all over the web and no luck so far thought this would be a pretty easy ?

    I can't see off hand a conection, but have you looked @ Pertronix if you think an upgrade is needed?

    It has something to do with a SCV (spark control valve) its a modified vacuum signal I was told the pertronix kit will not help this problem, but the person who told me this I do not the utmost faith in.

    I cant get on that site I pissed him off I guess I tried to sign up multiple times got no reply sent him an email that said "Can I join or should I go get a 302?" he got mad I apologized cause I was in a bad mood that day and was acting like an *** he didnt accept or just never read my apology so here I am.

    I've done searches on there and still have not found the info Im looking for so if you know please help me out. Everywhere I go they say ask this forum its getting old thats why I was pissy when I couldnt become a member on fordsix. This is like day five of reading different people post different contradicting info.

    Im getting old and bitter and bites me on the *** quite often. These computizing lookity boxes make me seem like a jerk I forget sarcasm looks just like being an ***hole in print. You cant see my smart *** smile.
