Unless he has an MSD distributor also, he will need to splice the duraspark distributor wires into the MSD box.

on a 89 and 91 its very simple with the instructions that are included. I would think a 79 is not that bad

They are very easy and you can download specific instructions for most ford ignition systems from the MSD website.

Typically it will have to be spiced, but I think MSD makes a plug in harness for a Duraspark also. Check their website or call them.

It should be easy either way.
