Doing DSII conversion....

I have a 1985 Bronco with the 4.9l I6 in it and am about to do the conversion since I can't get it going right as is (sensor problems). Anyway, i just want to make sure my shopping list is in order.

Here is what I need to do conversion right?
(all off a pre-84 I6)

-Distributor
-Ignition Coil
-Ignition Module
-Wiring Harness
-Carb off a pre-84
-Coil wire
-Wire that runs from Elec. Chock to alternator in case elec choke is working on new carb.


Am I missing anything? Thanks gang.

Derrick,
Your best bet may be to see if you can find someone who can send you a wiring harness, or a schematic so you can make your own. Other than that, all of the parts for the conversion can be purchased new.

Distributor: ~$50
Coil: ~$40
Ignition module: ~$40
1bbl carb: $~150 - $250

New wiring harnesses are available at Painless Wiring but they're not painless- last I checked, the harness was over a hundred dollars.
NAPA has all the plugs, so with the wiring harness (available at junkyardgenius.com) you can build your own.
