electronic ignition upgrade
 

I have a 1965 F-100 with a 1968 390 in it and I am converting from the old distributor to an electronic system. I have purchased a distributor and ignition box and coil for a 1975 390. I need a lot of help with the wiring.
The distributor has an orange,purple, and black wires coming out of it. The ignition box has white,blue,red,green,black w/green stripe,light orange,light purple.

Where do I hook them up?

Thanks Sparky, I retrieved the information from the site you gave and was able to get the truck running.

I appreciate the help!

Thanks a ton for the website. I am getting ready to wire my 53 F100, now I might even get it right the first time!

I have a 73 Ranchero with a 351C and I want to convert from the old points distributor to an electronic system. What should I get and how do I wire it up. Thanks you guys for you help. Joe

You could:

1. keep your points system, but use it to trigger a MSD 6A box.

2. Keep your dist and buy a pertronix kit and install it inside the dist.

3. Buy a used or rebuilt dist for a 1975 and up 351m or 400, or 460, that used the Ford duraspark II system. Get the harness and the box from the junkyard, and re-wire.
