New distributor question
I have a newly rebuilt 400 on a 1977 ford f150 and bout an Accel street billet 52202 and was wondering if I have to hook it to a module, could I just hook it straight to the coil?

52000 SERIES MAGNETIC
BREAKERLESS DISTRIBUTORS
WIRING
When you are using your distributor without an ignition amplifier
or CD type ignition unit, the 3-wire harness connects as follows:
Brown Wire Negative (-) Terminal on the Coil
Black Wire Engine Ground
Red Wire Switched 12 Volt Source
Note- Some older vehicles are equipped with a ballast
resistor or a resistance wire. These cannot be used with
this distributor. Bypass or eliminate the ballast resistor if
your vehicle is equipped with one. To check for a resistance
wire, use a voltmeter to verify that when the engine is
running that the COIL POSITIVE TERMINAL reads within 1 volt
of the battery voltage. If the voltage difference is more than
1 volt, the wire needs to be replaced. When bypassing a
ballast resistor or eliminating a resistance wire, use at least
a 14 gauge automotive grade copper wire from the COIL
POSITIVE ( + ) to the starter solenoid or a switch terminal in
the fuse box.
Make sure that your 12-Volt source supplies voltage with the
ignition key in both with the ON (run) and START positions, but
not in the ACCESSORY position.
Connecting to ACCEL 300+ Ignition
Or other CDI box, ignition amplifier, or multiple strike unit.
Your new distributor is designed as a stand-alone unit. It does not
require an external ignition/enhancer box to operate. To use the
ACCEL 300+ (or other) ignition system with this distributor, the
electronic module must be bypassed.
