Default 83 bronco HEI

Alright so the wiring on this truck is shot, I don't feel like going though it to replace the original ignition system and a friend told me about converting it to a one wire HEI distributer. This distributer should work I think it will but I just wanted another opinion. It's simple, i like simple. Only needs one wire to power to work.

Did you end up pulling the trigger on this? Curious as to how it worked out?

I did and it works. Much easier than rewiring the original mess cut up by the rats. I'm not 100% sure the one I linked to is the one I used so I'll pull out my order papers later and see. But yeah the truck runs now just needs a new carb to stay running.

Sweet I ordered mine a few days ago. Hopefully it will be in today so I can get her running by the weekend.
