grumpin Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Ok, I saw that smaller GM system the other day as I was looking into a 1992 S10. And then wondered if GM put that Vortec 4.3 in the 1996 and later S10’s. Which they did. That ought to be a nice little pick up. If I did go HEI I figured I’d use a continuous duty solenoid to power it. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/smp-ss608?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwu5CDBhB9EiwA0w6sLTnieJUaUiMqBI2_22p_uqUjJLWlEYghOeBRovlI8uQa8zr4IaqsKhoCz1IQAvD_BwE As I said I’m really hoping this stator works because I like the Duraspark II. I did go ahead and drive it this evening. Running real good. Got my drill press! Edit: one other thing I’m concerned about is the size of an HEI, I will be using my stock air cleaner. The new Stator Assembly from Ford. Put it in, started right up and running great! Checked timing and enjoyed a drive. Did discover in all this that the distributor was off a tooth, much calmer now. I would recommend a Ford part. I’m second guessing myself on the other stators I tried after the first one because I found an alligator test lead was giving me trouble. But I don’t think I took the leads with me. So, the assembly from Ford Parts Giant is great! And I found an Emissions and Diagnostic manual for 1986 on eBay.

Not too bad after it warmed up. Went to check the vacuum advance and there wasn’t any! Got a vacuum advance can ordered and it came in today. Much better, advanced the timing a little more and it’s performing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go with the stock Motorcraft advance? Or did you get the adjustable Crane Cams advance unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the Echlin from NAPA, it’s adjustable. I put it in the middle of the adjustment and it seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Echlin DSII module, but ordered the Crane advance because it was a known thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it much better so far. Just seemed too lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
