When putting a DSII into a 170, I've read that you should go with a cooler plug due to the increased spark energy, and wider gap. How do you choose the correct plug? Are the diamond fire plugs a good choice?
The later model distributor might not fit the early block...the driveshaft is different size, 1/4" vs 5/16". Might wanna check into this before buying the DSIIDan64Falcon":22bz6bq9 said:This is a 1964 falcon 170, however I'm planning ahead in order to install the DSII dizzy, and replacement carb to get away from the autolite/loadomatic combo that runs poorly even after replacing them both.
