[Tigers] Ignition/Coil/Tach Setup

[Ron Fraser]

	If you want a stock looking ignition just use the Pertronix or
similar unit in the distributor.   You can cover the wires out of the
distributor with shrink tube for that 1 wire appearance.

Stock coil is a Ford yellow top	B6A-12029-B
Stock ignition Resistor wires are Ford 	C3OZ-12259-H1
Stock HiPo wires are solid core, black with SX and cylinder number on each
wire
Stock spark plugs 	Autolite  BF-32 for HiPo	BF-42 for non HiPo
Stock Distributor cap	Ford	B7A-12106-A

Note: Your C3OF-12127-D distributor with oil port is an early style
distributor; be sure to inspect the advance mechanism thoroughly.   This
style has many wear points at the cam plate and weights that can hang up the
advance curve.

The dual point distributor has no vacuum advance; vacuum advance will give
you economy on the highway.

Hello All,
Now thinking about the entire ignition setup on my 63/64 HiPo motor rebuild.
The goal is to keep original with as many original parts/look as possible
for a street driven car. FoMoCo dual point distributor C30F - 12127 - D I
would like to go with Petronic Ignitor with stock looking or stock coil -
what ever that is suppose to be with a MSD 6AL box.  I am understanding I
would need the MSD Tach converter as well in order for the stock Smith's
tach to work right.  The ignitor II senses coil current level and adjusts
the coil.  Ignitor III adds a rev limiter as well but the 6AL box has a rev
limiter, I believe so the III might be duplication of effort.

A stock coil
for a 66 MK1A would be?
Stock distributor wires would be?
Stock spark plug
model would be?
Stock Cap would be?
Would I also need the ballast resistor to
make all this work or take out the guts of the unit to keep original look.
Any direction with parts, originality in mind to get the best of old and new
world would be greatly appreciated.
