Electronic Ignition

Hello all, I have a 390 with a pointless distributor (motorcraft). Coming off the distributor is a 3 wire female prong which attaches to a 3 wire male prong. Coupled with this wiring is a male 4 prong and the old 3 wire which attaches right to the rear of the cab. I have been unable to locate the correct ignition module (all have a 4 and 2 wire setup) to hook this unit together. I believe I am missing something, like a wire or maybe a smog module ?? which then attached to the ignition module? I don't have the old setup for reference which would cure all this. Anybody know if I can use a standard ignition module by rigging wires ??

thanks,
mark

The web site that shows a diagram is:
www.martelbros.com/msd/support/23.htm Very thankful for this info they have; but the best pricing I have found is at summitracing.com Not trying to hurt or advertise anyone by saying this though.

thanks,

Sounds like you have a late 74 or a 75 system. In the three prong female conector, is there a blue wire? If so, it's a early system. Determin that and post the results.
