Ford modules are ID'd by the color of the plastic grommet that retains the wires.
Blue = the most common (and best) Dura-spark II module. Used on a ton of applications from '76 up till I believe late 80s early 90s.
Also, the wiring is pretty much standard Dura-spark II. The purple, orange and black go to the distributor pick up, the green to the + terminal on the ignition coil and the red and white go to the ignition switch.
BTW, welcome to FTE, lots of good, knowledgeable people here.

A wise guy once wrote this.

Ignition modules, 74 (black grommet) and 75 (green grommet) are year specific and will not interchange. 76 to 79 (blue grommet) are interchangeable.
Ignition modules: 1974 is 1974 ONLY / 1975 is 1975 ONLY.
Blue module introduced in 1976 was used well into the 1990's.
D4AZ-12A199-C 1974 only.

Dura Spark ignition modules identified by a colored plastic insert located above where the wires feed out.
2 others: One has a red plastic insert, the other has a yellow or brown plastic insert.
Red*module is D7AZ-12A199-A*used in some CA vehicles ONLY.

D9AZ-12A199-C(replaced D8AZ-12A199-A). One of these modules is yellow, one is brown. Since the part number was replaced, I cannot recall which module was which color.
These modules were used in 1978/79 302 & 351M/W vehicles sold in high altitudes only.

351W: Passenger Cars & Econolines only.
1U2Z-12A199-AA(replaced D6AZ-12A199-B - D7AZ-12A199-B - D8VZ-12A199-A - D9VZ-12A199-A) .. Ignition Module -blue insert (Motorcraft DY-893) / Available from Ford.
