Distributer ?

Hey guys I have been looking at a 1978 F250 with a 351 in it. I am not sure if it is a winsor or a clevland but the seller says their is a bad modual on the distributer. Is he talking about an ignition modual or what dose any one know what he is talking about

the 78 should have a 351 modified (M) not windsor or cleveland. also there should be not module on the dizzy but there is one on the fender. it should be a duraspark 2 ignition system and the module is only $20. the only thing on the dizzy is the vacuum advance canister.
