Question Electronic ignition conversion for '74 F250
I have a '74 F250 with breaker points, and a dead '76 F250 with a factory electronic ignition setup. Anybody know how to easily swap the electronic setup into my '74? Thanks!

If it's the same engine, it would be easy. Just swap the dist and install the wiring harness and module. The hook up keyed power to the red wire (on 2 wire terminal on module) and it's set.

You may find lots of info in your engine forum also. The wiring forum is also a good source.
