The Duraspark won't work with an EFI engine. Your engine has TFI. The TFI is the Ford version of GM's HEI and is more than sufficient for the job. Some even use the 4-pin GM module with a TFI coil as an upgrade to the DS2 system on carbed applications.

first year 300 EFI???

At some point I would like to do a 300 EFI motor swap in an early Bronco. What was the first year and models had a 300 EFI motor? My brother had a 87 F-150 but I can remember if it had carb or fuel injected.

Thanks Jeff
