Ignition ? with carbs

[Slider79SC]

Hello all you Guru’s

I am going to put carbs on my 1979 3.0 SC engine.

The question is; what do I need for ignition, do I stay with the same distributor, anything else I should look at?

Thanks, and let’s hear it….

All you need to do is have your SC distributor recurved to suit.

You can retain the stock SC Bosch CD ignition or use an MSD setup.

Slider I have a 83SC with PMO carbs and I am running the stock Bosch CD ignition box and I had my stock distributor recurved by Barry Hershon, his name came from the PMO website. I know Jerry Woods and probably others do this work also. When I spoke with Barry on the phone he told me flat out that the car wouldn't run right without going to a MSD ignition box but I have found that it runs just fine. A multi spark box like MSD or Mallory might help a little at idle but it's not needed in my experience. When the distributor was reworked the vacumn advance was removed so it's strictly mechanical advance. Good luck with yours.
