Here is the list so far:
Q: Where did you get the background for this?
A: From the Off-road.com BBS (posted by Team Rush) click here to see the original posts.

And I got it from racing AMC's for 30 or so years.

Q: What vehicle are these parts from?
A: 1982 Ford F-150 Pick Up Truck With A 300 CID I-6 Engine.

'82 gets you the screw down cap adapter.
If you try other years, you might wind up with a clip down adapter, and that won't work with the '78 to '86 Jeep/Motorcraft distributor.

Q: Do you need to start using premium fuel after this upgrade?
A: Nope, After I upgraded my two Jeeps, I was able to stop using premium and use regular unleaded.

Will not require any different fuel, and in fact, you may be able to run cheaper fuel since the cylinders are actually getting fired when they are supposed to.

Q: Does it work with the Nutter by-pass?
A: Although I have never tried it, this should work fine.

Works fine with the 'John Nutter Bypass'.

Q: Are there any other websites with info on this upgrade?
A: Sure, try these:

Lots of 'Clones', but most of them have incorrect information...
Since this is an evolving thing, the information changes when I get my hands on different parts...
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD REALLY STRESS!
Brass terminal caps!
Nothing like a distributor with brass terminals instead of aluminum!
Once aluminum oxidizes from the high voltage discharge, the aluminum is no longer a conductor...
Hard to get a plug wire to fire if you take it's conductor out of the circuit!
