Crossflow
I'm rebuilding a 1300 cross flow
What the best for upgrading the Distribrtor
Currenty its a ford Type with points and a condensor
It looks in good nick have stripped it down and no wear is evident
It has a vacume advance and has weights in the base that also advances, all looks fine
wanting to go to electronic
what is the best for performance
thanks

If you can find one a distributor frm a Valencia engined Escort is a popular conversion, get the small wiring loom , connectors and the coil. Just
need 3wires connecting

Heard good things about pertronix when I was investigating the same for my 1690
xflow, although I bought one (and coil) I never did get to try it out as I swapped to a SAAB lump instead, the reviews were favourable though

I have the Petronix on my 1300 and love it. I was used to doing the timing every few months and now I just do it for practice. It is always spot on!!!

If you use the Valencie distributor, remove the small module from the side of the unit, clean the faces and then refit using heat conducting compound.
I got some from an electronics service engineer. The faces have a habit of oxidising causing problems with preventing the transfer of heat from the
module to the distributor body.
