Ignition Module<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

The Maverick originally had points.\u00a0 The 302 I got from the 1978 F-150 had a Duraspark II electronic ignition. So I had to figure out how to retro fit it into the car.<\/p>\n

This is the ignition module. It is the “brains” of the system. This one has a blue connector. Seems there are others with green and brown. The are all wired different.<\/p>\n


\nAnother difference is the distributer cap. The one on the right is original and uses points. The one on the left is what an electronic ignition uses.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAlso the inside of the distributor is diff. The top is points and the bottom is electronic.<\/p>\n

\nAlso need a different coil. This was my best guess. There are soooo many and some need external resistors, some dont. Some work on 12V all the time, some 12V and 6V depending on crank.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt took me a while to come up with this. There is just so many different ideas and drawings out there on how to retro fit this thing. This is what I came up with.\u00a0 Ill try to explain my thinking here….<\/p>\n

From the distributer to the Module is rather strait forward. Just match up the colors<\/p>\n
