I just did a duraspark conversion and it turns out I used a duraspark 2 pickup can I use the stock 76 box or do I need to get a duraspark 2 box

The pickup is from an 84 351

 

Let me get this straight...you used a DSII stator (AKA pick up coil) in the conversion? A conversion from the DSI?

The DSII came out in mid(?) '76 and used the blue grommet on the ICM. Ford continued this setup well into the 80s.

So I think you're all set if I'm understanding you correctly.

 

The box was the early 76 kind

The stator and pickup are 84

The truck is a 75 somebody put points in

All with a 74 and earlier distributor

 

You mean the ICM.....and it had the blue grommet?

The stator and pick up coil are the same thing....what am I missing?

I think the '75s still had points.....Ok, is the wiring harness from the truck to ICM to distributor hacked to hell or still usable?

Ahhhhh.....back to your original question...the stock '76 box (ICM with blue grommet) will work with the DSII.

Wow...you've got quite the compilation of ignition parts! No wonder I'm confused..

 

I've always had 74s and 76s so if it was points originally I don't know the wiring isn't there but a box I assume is bad is in there they painted it for some reason

By stator I thought that was the spur looking thing and the pickup the other part in there

It is the blue grommet box by the way

 

That "spur" looking thing is the reluctor. 8 teeth, spins around making the stator (pickup coil) either "on" or "off".....basically spark, no spark.

The blue grommeted ICM is from '76 on up.

I think there's some wiring to be done...link courtesy of ultraranger

So are the mismatched parts going to burn anything up
