Hey SlixtyFive - Eaton's the only offering I know of. Moog is out of the game. Here's the page with the rear leafs with some lowering built in you were talking about: http://www.eatonsprings.com/57-66fordf100.html
Agree that it's spendy. Including the Eaton page reference for other members.

Re: halogen taillights?
Hi Dot - i'm running Super Brights and they seem ok - no troubles. Hard to say if they 'made a significant difference' in terms of brightness. The larger issue was the surface rust inside the bucket which really dulled any reflectivity. I cleaned that up and painted to try and help with brightness. ...

Re: Dual reservoir Master with Booster
Was having surface rust problems in the bore of my dual master conversion (crazy, I know). I replaced with an 1-1/8 inch bore Wildwood all-aluminum unit. It's pricey but it's a pretty fine piece of business. Wilwood slotted the mount so it worked with our power booster studs center to center. No mod...

Found this in Mallory's Tech Library: It's not the voltage so much as the resistance on the primary side. You need at least 1.4 ohms (and preferably no more than 3 ohms). While it is true that more primary resistance will reduce the voltage, it is difficult to give an exact voltage because it depend...

Thanks Charlie - just to be clear, Mallory's instructions provide for 3 potential configurations: 1) with ballast resistor 2) with a loom resistance wire 3) with an ignition control box. I will be using method '2' if the resistance wire, provided in the OEM harness, provides a drop to 8 volts to the...

Hey Folks - Just picked up Mallory's Unilite elec. ignition distributor (part number 4563101 - mech advance) and coil (part number 29216) for my L6.
