ignition wiring

hey guys, Im trying to put a 1978 302 in my 51 F2, im looking for a wiring diagram for the electronics of the 302,ie.. the coil, ignition coil and distributor. the previous owner stripped all the wiring off and the pigtails and connections are gone. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a wiring diagram? thanks...The cab is off the truck and I would like to start the motor, so Im sure its just gonna be a few of the wires that need connected,I just dont know where to connect them...

 

Do you have a Chiltons or sim. manual for the year of motor?
Need the diagram for your truck also.

 

the distributor has 3 wires coming out of the bottom, the ignition coil has 2 sets of wires from it? i ***ume this is electronic ignition because i dont see point in the distributor

 

all the wiring for the truck is toast, and the previous owner swapped the motor and ****** , i was able ,by the block numbers to find out the block is a 1978 302

 

I would try the ford truck site. Here is a link to a wiring diagram for one of the electronic ignitions. You may have a Duraspark II system. Might be different. Hope this may get you in to the ball park.

yes it does thanks. im looking for info on what to connect to get it started, the cab isnt on the truck and there isnt a ignition switch

 

It's probably a Duraspark. This one is from a 79...

 

BTW, it won't work without the "box".
