1952-59 Ford Ford Duraspark distributor - wiring info

Updating a 351W with a Ford 351W duraspark distributor. Got three wires out of the dist., Black, Orange, Purple. Anybody tell me how to hook up to keyed ignition and coil?

Do you have the Duraspark module as well?

 

No module. I want to run it like a Pertronix conversion if possible.

 

the black is ground. the orange and purple are the pickup coil wires. i would use a motorcraft module. simple hook up.

 

You have to use the module.

 

Thanks to all.

 

Street, I just put a duraspark dist in my 58. I used a chevy 4 pin hei module and msd coil and it works great. It runs good and is neat and clean under the hood. Google duraspark hei conversion and there are all kinds of info and wiring diagrams. I hid the module inside an old duraspark box.

 

Rusty, yeah, I searched that per BubbaGMC and you're right, there's a ton of info. Like the idea of hiding the module under the Duraspark box. Thanks.

 

Probably not what your looking for, but....

I used a duraspark in mine, recurved it myself, and I use it with an MSD coil and MSD 6AL box. I did this using an MSD plug and play connector here
