PerTronix Ignition Module

Engine - 1977 400 6.6L

My question is about PerTronix's D500700 Ignition module. It can be found at Summit.

PerTronix D500700 - PerTronix Replacement Flame-Thrower Ignition Modules - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Does this replace the OEM Ignition Control Module? If it does, is it worth the investment to swap out the Motorcraft box thats attached to the inner fender?

Thanks

That's an integrated sensor + module install. No reason to get it if you already have factory Duraspark (which you do). It's geared toward people with points.
