It certainly isn't in the rules now. You would have to use a Duraspark ignition setup with the compatible distributor. If you're running a roller cam, the application is from an 85 5.0L five-speed, which will have the correct steel distributor gear to match the cam.

What type of ignition coil can be used when doing the carb conversion on a ford?

 

TFI or Canister?

My 85 Fox3 carbed hooptie is using a stock 85 coil that looks like the 86+ EFI coils.

 

Walk into AutoZone/Kragen/etc and ask for a stock 85 coil to go with the 85 Duraspark distributor, and the 85 Duraspark box. Simple, effective, and very inexpensive.

Thanks for you help.
