Swapped the Factory Duraspark II ignition system out for a Pertronix Billet Ignitor III Setup for the 460 in my 1979 F350 4x4 Big Pabby.
The Duraspark was a great system when you could still get replacement parts from Ford, the aftermarket brain boxes and pickup coils don't hold up and some are junk brand new out of the box.

Started the weekend off by trying to upgrade the sub-par original radiator in the Van with the one I pulled from the junkyard to no avail.
The mounting brackets and hose inlets and outlets were just way too far off to make work.

After the failed Radiator install on the Van I decided to do a 3g alternator upgrade on Big Pabby my 1979 F350 4x4 with a 460.
Of course I immediately ran into clearance issues due to the larger case of 3g alternator and the mismatched brackets I originally scrounged up when I swapped the 460 in back in 2015.

Got the filler panel out and decided to try to beat some of the dents and dings out before cleaning it up.
