There are several ways to do it... You can just use a dummy distributor to drive the oil pump.
You'd need to either set up a crank sensor (like the new 5.0L Explorers have) and run an aftermarket DIS system like Holley or Electromotive sells (http://www.electromotive-inc.com) or electromotive sells a distributor that will drop into a SB Ford and trigger its DIS system. The electromotive units are really nice because you can set your entire advance curve with a laptop. I have experience with thier combination fuel injection/ignition system and it is really easy to use and almost infinitely variable. Lots of fun if you have the time to experiment & tune it. -CP
: I am wondering if anyone knows of anyone making a distributorless ignition system for the 302. I think this would free up a very minut amount of power, but hey every little bit counts. I also assume doing this would require some sort of mod., like setting up an exterior oil pump. Any info appreciated.
