1973 Wanderlodge/391 Ford gas engine

[Curt Sprenger]

Good advise Mike. I followed Mike's and other's advise when I had my
1974 BB with the 534 gas engine. I was amazed how well the engine ran
after installing the Pertronix unit. It took about 20 minutes to remove
the old point system and install the pertronix unit...you can't miss on
this one. Install a new coil, new plugs and wires too. I had to remove
the dog-house to change the plugs/wires.

Again, following these guys advise, I removed the carburetor/govenor
garbage and installed a 750 Holley. Easy job, about one hour. You need a
smaller carburetor, a 650 CFM for the 391.

Good luck.
