Guys-I picked the Ford up today, it is runnig good so far with the used Dist. I had 189000 miles on mine so it`s kinda like a new part right. Hope to get another 100K out of the truck, I only had it a few years and I really like it – we live in the hills of Arkansas, drive it to work every day plus haul a few things ( wood & kayaks ) we take it down the buffalo River roads and creekbeds. Thank you for the input, will keep you posted.
