He's looking for something to PMS about. Incase you were wondering, if you do the math for the time we were here, you would have about 1200 posts a year ago. so I don't wana hear shiznit about it. I *think* that just maybe I have a high post count because I work on the car almost everyday. I do work, I post it. Sometimes I have questions about something so I post it. I even try to HELP people insted of nit-picking. So Claude, please find a new person to single out. I think I've proven that I can do the work, and that I'm willing. So unless you have another BS thing to complain about, I'd like to figure the problem out.

 I have it all wired up now, accept the red and white. I still don't know what to go to yet. I just got in and I'm freezing my ass of, but it's almost done. Just waiting on the carb and these 2 wires now. For the high pressure punp, do I just disconnect power to it and bypass it with fueline and use the low power one for the carb?

IF You talk of the 3 pr0ng connnector of duraspark box...

Mike, just for the test jump the two wires and go to B+, don't worry about the duraspark box, no problem's there, the one generally conneced to a ignition start is just a signal reterder, to keep the engine well timed wnen You start (low rpm kind of 50~100rpm) that's all...


For the rest I don't remember at all, I'll go to My garage tomorrow and scrounge My ole books for You, In my van E-150 I have a 1st generation duraspark like Your, and I have only two wires come out, one red and another white (striped or whatever)...

If Your distributor positioned at the good place, and the 4 pr0ngs connector connected to the duraspark box, and the two wires connected together (for the test), You will have a spark on the coil for sure...

Check if You have a 12V on one pr0ng of the coil too (coil disconnected), If You have all of them I'll go to scrounge My ole books...

I converted many many Fords in the 70's and 80's with this duraspark and this a simple system, safe, and never broke, it was the safetyest Ford branded spark system ever made, I have this system stock on My 85 bird...

Check this and ring Me if You need help, I'm a notorious guy on these systems...

Hope this help,

Have a nice Day Mickey.

Today bring new light in th eduraspark project. I was at a freinds house and we found an old truck. It had the duraspark harness, rotor, cap, plue wires, coil.. everything. Including an older set of semi-rusty Ford Motorsport chrome steel valve covers. I scored all this, and a factory blue 460 air cleaner for the amazing price of... NOTHING!! I'll hae pics of my finds today when I get home. Tomorow I go back to see if I can get the carb off the 460 and investigate.
If anyone needs 460 parts, let me know as he has a few under the tarp at his house. One complete and 2 that are mostly there.

Well, There is one late 70's 302, 2 late 70's 460's, maybe a 400/351M. I'm going back today to try to get the carb from the 460 so I can have a spare carb. It's a 4 barrel and it should be OK, it looks perfect, just , well, 1976-ish. I love the thrill of finding the parts I've wanted just sitting in the back of an old truck. It's one step closer to what I wanted.
