The blue part will probably be tough. All the blue ones I've seen are the cheap eBay HEI ones.

 

I'm using an MSD Ready-To-Run in my 302. It meets all of your requirements except the blue cap. It comes with a red cap and I traded that for a black one. You could certainly try painting the red cap. Ain't no way in hades I'd put one of those fugly Govt Motors HEI abominations under my hood! And it can't be described as small any way you define it.

are you using an ignition box? just use a duraspark with a small cap.

 

I could do this I guess but wanted to see if there where better options?

1) I have a F2PF 12A199 AA Duraspark box, Is this the right one?
2) How does the Duraspark Hook up? has two plugs one goes to the Dist. where does the other plug go?
3) What Distributor do I need for this?
4) Will this handle 400 hp no problem?

 

I'm running the same setup as awhtx on my 302 with an Edelbrock top end.

A distributor does not care in the least how much power an engine makes. I have been happy with my Duraspark and it spins over 6K more regularly than I like to admit. The standard cap is blue over grey, but larger diameter. You could get one of these: Standard Motor Distributor Caps FD129

I use this as I prefer the HEI style male connections:

I use a Crane HI-6 to fire the ignition. Crane is out of business, but sold the ignition business to FAST. At the time I got mine I think the Crane was the only one with dial switches for the rev limiter. It a nice safety factor.

The white wire connection is not absolutely necessary, but it's function is to energize the "retard while starting" function of the Duraspark II module. When cranking the engine, the module actually retards the spark so the engine can crank easier. This allows you to run additional initial advance.

Please make sure you have correct gear for the cam you are running...you will have to google it or give us more info on your cam

 

The Cam is Edelbrocks #7182 Hydraulic flat tappet Cam is this compatible with a Stock ford duraspark dizzy???

 

If I remember right, when at the auto parts store And they ask ”year make and model” ask for a a mid 70s car for iron, and for the steel gear ask for an 85 mustang 5.0 GT 5 speed. You want a torino or Granada with 302 to get duraspark distributor with steel gear. Someone else may have a better reference.

 

So I need a mid 80's Mustang 5.0, Torino or Granada 302 to get a duraspark distributor with a steel gear for my Edelbrocks #7182 Hydraulic flat tappet Cam.

 

Boss, for a hydraulic flattappet cam you need the IRON gear, like on a mid / late 70s 351W. LSG

 

So Dont want a steel gear How do I tell if its an iron or a steel gear ?

 

The distributor that fits a 302 will NOT fit a 351W. The 351 distributor is longer and uses a 5/16" hex driveshaft whereas the 302 uses a 1/4" hex driveshaft.

 

After much thought I'm going with my initial thought of wanting a one piece unit that has the coil and the module in the cap. The two I'm looking at are the Pertronix and DUI Davis Distributors. Anyone have any experience with these companys on these types of distributors or know of other options that are all in one unit for a Modified 69 351w ?

I would rather not have a external box or coil and is why I'm looking at an all in one unit. Anyone have any experience with Pertronix or DUI Davis Distributors. Any reasion these would be a bad choice if they fit what I'm looking for?

 

My choice would be a Ford DurasparkII distributor triggering a Mopar ignition box. Simple, cheap, effective (unless you're exceeding 8,000 rpm on a regular basis). The only "negative" is you don't get a couple free decals to stick on your window (or toolbox).
