I'd go with the Dura Spark II setup from the mid 70's.You'll need a distributor from a 360 or 390.Those are the only engines that will fit.You will also need the module.If you can find a setup in a salvage yard get the wiring harness with it.A wiring diagram for the system will show you how to wire it.Hope this helps.

D99, the dreaded Ford parts code that means back ordered Detroit. It means that Ford has none available, and whatever part is D99 might take months to get. Parts can still be D99 today.

Bill, Please be careful, with no futher explanation you suggested to use 78-79 parts. 76 was the last year that the FE was used, so should the original poster go hunting all parts from a 77-79 he will be searching for something that he can't find.
He can use the later module, but will have to find the FE dist before 77 year model.

you can order a new dist from your local parts house(around 60bucks) for a 76 f250 with a 360 and itll hook up to the later blue tab ignition box 78/79 style.go to your local salvage yard and get the harness and look at the diaram Dennis put up itll be easy

Can you tell me what dist. will be good for a 302. I have the complete setup from Edelbrock Performer-Plus. Manifold #2121,Camshaft & Lifters #2122,and 600 CFM Square-Flange W/manual choke. The int270-exh280 @.050 204-214@cam-.280-.295 @valve.448-.472. I ported & polished it.I got shorty headers.I hope it will get up a little.I've put many hours into it and now i got the truck i've been wanting for along time.72 SWB F100 Sport Custom. I got a C6 with a shift kit and had some valve body work done on it also with a 2500 stall sling shot convertor.
