Mike:
My engine came with the "diver's bell" distributor which needed to be replaced. I considered going to a "crab" style but the location of the distributor led me to decide to install an electronic 12 volt system. The ease of adjustment as well as the efficiency with which this Mallory system performs was the deciding factor. By the way, it looks quite similar to the "crab" style.
As for the 12 volt system, it's just easier to get electical parts!
I do plan to drive it at night to and from and during WWII reenactments and parades but will not install halogen lights. As far as other aftermarket goodies are concerned, I have no plans whatsoever to install any thing of that nature. I fully intend that the outward appearance of the F 8 will remain the same as it was originally.
Regards,
Jim
