Just before doing the TFI to DSII swap I replaced the plugs and wires on my 1985 302...
The wires came from NAPA
Part Number: BEL 700776
Product Line: Belden
IMPORTANT INFO: w/ EEC (Electronic Engine Controls)

I searched the NAPA site and compatibility for the set listed above is 1984-1986 e-150 and 1985-1987 F-150 and F-350 trucks with 5.0 engine..

Do you think they will work with the DSII ignition?

Also the plugs are Motorcraft SP-450/ASF42C copper. They do cross over to a 1983. My sticker on the trick says gap 42-46. From what I have read it should be the same with the DSII.. But there is allot of conflicting information on the internet about the gap also!
I believe i gaped them at 44 when I installed them..
Thanks

 

The difference is in the coil wire.
Many plug wire sets come with both male and female coil wires.
I know my NAPA Belden Premium wire set came with one of each.

DSII gap is .044"

 

Thanks. I went to RA site and compared all the matching wire sets for a 1980 and 1985. One matched and several others were one number or letter different, so I assumed the only difference was the coil wire.
I called NAPA and they are supposed to order a new set so I can get the matching coil wire. My set had a spare but both were female,

AZ sells a single coil wire
