All of them I have ever seen were in cars, Lincoln Versailles, 82 Lincoln MkII that type.

Ok, thanks for the info!

I'm aware of 3 threads in the 6-banger forum about DSII swaps from a feedback carburetor/TFI ignition, might read through them to see if they help:

Ok cool, I'll have to look through these threads. Thanks!

Well that's great to hear! I'm gonna try to go to the junkyard this weekend and see if I can find some parts for a DSII swap or Motorcraft parts for my DSI. Hopefully I'll get this figured out soon!
