I sheared a right side stub shaft on my 79 460 Bronc..... BUT, that was also after it having sat neglected for about 4 yrs, which was 5yrs after I had put the 460 in and and it happened when I landed after a double bounce in a mud hole that I ramped into at hi-rpms in Lo range for the 4th time, so I cant really blame it on the D44 tho (BTW, that was with 38" Swampers too) If you have the D60 for the front, then I would probably go ahead with the swap, altho I dont know that I would go out of my way to do it unless I was planning on building an Ultimate type rig or something. That D44 is alot stronger than people give them credit for IMHO.

have you checked for spark at the plugs had similar problem when i did the 460 swap on my 86 bronco and it was the ignition module .evidently i crossed wires somewhere and burnt the ignition module out very easy to do also you can have the module checked at some parts stores

this Maybewill help you a bit in hooking up the Duraspark. It sounds as if you dont have the power hooked up to the brainbox. Follow the lead from the coil to the plug over by the brainbox, that will be the other plug that connects to the duraspark.Also, the module in the Dist could be bad too
