Gary Lewis Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 It's not going to go unless you file the key off. I have a Duraspark module that's destined to be hollowed out and reborn with a foreign module inside by our resident carb & ignition guru, and he's already said connectors aren't needed. So I'll try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I have a Duraspark module that's destined to be hollowed out and reborn with a foreign module inside by our resident carb & ignition guru, and he's already said connectors aren't needed. So I'll try that one. Connector Ford part no. AUVECO Motorcraft DS-II 3 pin 3U2Z-14S411-XXA 20841 WPT-601 DS-II 4 pin 20844 Try these numbers As for the modified module, (a) it doesn't need to be a Ford DS-II unless it is bad, a cheap aftermarket case will suffice.(b) If what I am trying to do works, then we will be looking for junk non-ford cases that when converted can be labeled "Garage Mahal TFI conversion", Or maybe "Preston Carburetion and Ignition TFI conversion" I think the last owner won't mind.

Thanks, Bill. The 4-pin should be the one. Not sure what brand the module is, but I'll check on Friday. However the label should honor you.

BigBrother-84 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 That looks like the DS-II connector Jim, Big Brother’s stator harness is three wires one. Here is a picture of the new stator plugged on the old connector: Not sure, but I think this is the NAPA replacement harness connector I used to replace the original female connector. The difference is that the plastic flaps are located each sides instead up and down. Jus have to cut them to fit in the stator plug.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple, orange for the pickup and black for the brass ground tab just inside the rubber grommet? This is great info Jeff. Gary needs to include that part number (and the module ones Bill gave) in his DSII retrofit tutorial. There are VERY few '73-86 Fords left in the junkyard to harvest harnii from these days (50 years on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 By stator, you mean distributor in English? LOL!! I suppose I should not trust the english diagrams from which I take the parts name? And yes, I am talking about the female plug that goes in the distributor connector (C322). BTW, I found that the MSD 8869 adaptor could maybe be a correct connector too. No need to cut the plastic flaps to fit, it seems to already have them at the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us that speak fluent Ford it gets confusing. Much like if I told someone their thermactor bypass needed replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtymac Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Has anyone seen the conversion kit from PA Performance? I was looking through some 3G conversion videos on YouTube and found a 12-year video that mentioned it. Their approach includes an external regulator of some sort. I can't find their actual info sheet or an explanation of their regulator box but there are bits of info throughout the video and I did find some testing documentation. https://www.paperformance.com/1g-3g-conversion-462802c/ https://www.paperformance.com/content/1G_to_3G_Conversion.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
