hey guys i have a 66 mustang with a 84 351 windsor. How do i wire up the duraspark ingnition box to this car? theres 2 connectors on the box one that goes to the dist. and the other connector has 2 wires on it. Are the 2 wires a hot and a ground? Or should i say 12 volts and a ground? any help would be appreciated. thanks

ok guys i did everything on the duraspark diagram and i can't seem to get any fire out of the coil. Now remember this car was running before i did this. It had points ingnition and i am putting electric ignition on from a 75 model 302. Ok on the diagram it has a starter silenoid with a wire attached to the "I" pin on the silenoid. well this car didn't have a wire there, so that threw me to start with. SO instead of splicing into a wire that is not there, i spliced into the wire on the positive side of the coil because according to the diagram that is the same wire as the "I" on the silenoid. Correct? after that didn't work i ran power straight from the batt and still no fire. Am i missing something here? i thought for sure it would fire right up the way i had it wired but it didn't. i know for sure that the wires from the module to the distributer are correct, i just don't know where the white wire from the module hooks up since i don't have a wire at the "I" location on the silenoid. Please help

Thanks
Jimmie

You didn't take the plug that goes to the distributor off right? I have the same set up on my car. I'm trying to remember how I wired it up. Which wire did you run to the power source? The white one doesn't need to be connected. It's for retarding the ignition during start up. Also, where is the module bolted? The case has to touch metal. That's how it's grounded. Also, try to find another power source other than the positive side of the coil. That could be your problem. There's only 6 volts there to begin with.
