1984 duraspark II swap

i have an 84 f-150. my wiring harness has the provisions for duraspark II in it already, the problem is my plugs won't exactly match the distributor and module that i pulled out of an 82. how do i go about hooking this up with my stock harness.

May we suggest that you consider one of our custom curved D.U.I.-Davis Unified Ignition systems? It's a one-piece one-wire distributor that will clean up your wiring problems AND it runs great. See them at:

ive done this swap in my 84. i grabbed a dist from an 81 truck with a 300, the dsII box, coil, and wiring harness from an earliy 80s truck with a 302. im not sure if the 82s had tfi or not, but as far as i know you cant use a wiring harness for tfi with dsII. good luck
