Upgrading distributor on 1985 Mustang convertible gt

rruiz85gt · 07-05-2008

I'm soon to be upgrading my stock distributor, but what would you recommend?
And what about iridium spark plugs?
Any suggestions?

i would go with an MSD dizzy

You could go with MSD, Accel, Mallory, those are good, I have the MSD myself.

There is absolutely no reason to 'upgrade the distributor'.

The stock dizzy is fine. Money better spent elsewhere.

Cheapo Autolite/Motorcraft plugs work just fine too!

i put a MSD Pro Billet on my 87 mustang yesterday, some poeple say they work better or not, i would def get one, i noticed a big difference.

Some copper core Autolite 25's would be a good call. I've tried every different kind under the sun in a dozen different 5.0L motors and the Autolite 25's with the copper cores are my hands down favorite.

I have to agree with the above recommendations on the Autolites. They are solid and will do you well. Don't go fancy like the Bosch or anything like that.
