If you'd read that BS sales pitch you linked to you'd see " While not necessary when using the Performance Distributors DURASPARK distributor shown in the previous section,.."
You have good wires already. Just go to a JY and pull everything you need including the DSII harness, blue grommet module, vacuum dizzy and coil w/ bracket for $50 or less from any 1977 electronic ignition model I-6.(truck,car, doesn't matter..)
If the dizzy is really bad trade it in for a $60 re-man one at Napa (try to stay away from those franchised chain stores and their crap rebuilds)
IMO, spend your hard earned money on something other than Snake Oil.
The stock DSII was fine for hundreds of thousands of miles before it was legislated out of existence.

its looking like when I do upgrade the distributor I will be getting this
Ford Duraspark
with the inferno coil
I dont know if the dyna-module kit will work with it
Duraspark Upgrade
this leads me to beleave it dose
the dura spark 2 upgrade is actualy cheaper than the DUI distributor so thats a bonus

This is a diagram from post #4 of the tech tips section illustrating the DuraSpark conversion.
