Module to work with the current distributor
I need HELP,
I have a 1983 Ford F100 with a Long 6 cylinder. I have put on a MSD 6A and want to put on a Mallory duel point distributor part # 2763101 (Gap?____, Dwell?_____. The Q. is, what is the gray box about 5” x 5” on the fender? And what does it do? Can I replace it? Is it a Module to work with the current distributor?
Help

The module on the fender is the current duraspark II box, that shouldn't hurt anything, its part of the solid state ignition system.
Why would you want to convert to points? Electronic ignition giving you fits? or just simplicity?
I'd keep the DSII and get a Mallory Distributor, and run the MSD 6A box with all of it, that should make for one stout ignition system.

duraspark II box vs something NEW?
This duraspark II box is for the current solid state ignition system and Distributor? I want to put the Mallory duel point Distributor for now, then change out the points for the Mallory Una-light.
Do I need or can I remove the Duraspark II box? I have heard these go out a lot, and what do thay do anyway?
Thanks,
chris
