Ignition help.

All things being equal, what should I do?

The 77 Cougar (see engine post) I am swapping a MILD 460 into currently has a petronix conversion installed in a Mallory Unilite. This car is being sold later this year.

My F100 (getting another mild 460 (but warmer than the Cougar) has a Duraspark distributor with an MSD 6A box. I am keeping this truck.

I also have a full Duraspark setup (harness/box/another rebuilt dizzy) in a cabinet.

I'm thinking I should just put the Duraspark setup on the Cougar, and keep the Duraspark/6A combo in the F100, and just sell the Unilite/Petronix.

Any reason to keep the Unilite? It has 60K miles on it, with the Petronix installed. The Duraspark dizzy in the truck has 1000 miles or so, as does the MSD 6A.

Consider both daily drivers.

Why not put the Unilite in the Cougar that you are selling, and have the Duraspark as a spare?

I figured I could sell the Unilite outright. I doubt a person will pay $70 more for a car because it has a Unilite installed over a Duraspark. The DS is a lifetime warranty AutoZone piece, so if it fails, I can trade it in. Then again, the car is wired for the Unilite already.
