IIRC due to a change in the height of the drive gear, only late model 258 dizzys fit the 4.0? anybody know for sure? or are they all interchangeable?
looking to do hei swap, dont even ask why :looney:
 
I didn't know you could fit any 258 distributors into the 242 4.0.....even if it would fit aren't the old 258's carb'd?Therefor the dist wouldn't have the cam sensor in it.

all this is null and void if you are talking of switching from fuel injection to carbeuration.If thats the case...then nevermind.


the stock ignition is already "HEI".....

It's also what you use to convert to propane.
