Been browsing through parts catalogs during all the cold weather, and I've come up with several odd questions about the Windsor small-block's factory ignition.
1) When did Ford make the switch from socket terminals to HEI terminals on the distributor cap?
2) When did they switch from plug wires going across the rocker covers to wires going around the front of the covers and then peeling off at each cylinder?
3) When was Duraspark introduced?
4) And TFI?
Like I said, these are odd questions, with no real bearing on anything. But, I have an idea of when the various switches occured on Chev..., ahem, the other brand, and just got to wondering about Ford. Definitely a case of cabin fever.
