need a Duraspark distributor harness

Does anyone have an extra?


Haven't had any luck in finding one in the JY locally.


Thanks

Hello Triffecpa,

I don't have one to offer, myself. But, should you need an alternative:

Painless Wiring Part No. 30812 - Ignition Wire Harnesses

You can build your own if you want spend the time to learn how and to find the parts. Parts are available from NAPA, Rock Auto, and others. Most used harnesses are a pain. Brittle wires and cruddy and broken connectors. Good luck,...jack

I just finished a conversion this evening. Make your own. I spent a day combing through the JY and every harness I found was dried and brittle. NAPA and Rock Auto carry the two connectors you need and there's enough wire left on the old harness to get you by. Connectors, a coil, resistor from a mid-70s Chrysler product, shrink tubing (you should solder your splices rather than crimp them, if nothing else but for piece of mind) and it will be done right and you'll know what you have. Here's a picture to help you along: http://www.painlessperformance.com/Manuals/30819.pdf My only issue? Actually two; first, I didn't realize the oil pump shaft wasn't supposed to come out with the dizzy and spent way too long trying to install it before realizing I had to separate the shaft and install it in the engine before the dizzy. Second, I realize that the 4 plug connector doesn't need to come apart; just separate out the op/temp sender wires from the engine side and pick the one of the two remaining that gives you key-on power to feed the coil.

Now you have a reliable ignition system. All new parts. Correct plugs and connectors, so if a part needs changed, it is plug and play. You also have a good understanding of how it works. Good luck.,...jack
