    I bet Duraspark would have been used longer if it wasn’t for CARB and all of the Commodore 32/64 guys. 😜

    There's nothing inherently wrong with the DS distributor. The rebuilders (Cardone) are putting cheap chinese crap parts inside them.

    Bingo!
    I like Duraspark. Just frustrated by poor quality reproductions. Just like any other Mustang parts, I guess.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    The worst thing, for a part like that, it wouldn't cost much difference to make a quality product. I can't believe what they do to save a dollar. 

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.
