Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / March 2008How To wire distibutor directly to the coil 460 addition to 1972 ford truck
I just dropped a 460 into my 1972 f100. I dont have any of the electronics from the 1983 f250 that the motor came out of, so I need to wire the distributor directly to the coil (if possible). If anyone has a clue please fill me in!! Thank you. On Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:13:20 -0700, m_a_volkerts rearranged some electrons to say: > I just dropped a 460 into my 1972 f100.

Thank you. You'll need at least the ignition module if you have a magnetic trigger distributor. Alternatively, you could use an aftermarket ignition such as MSD. http://www.msdignition.com/ Magnetic Trigger, How do i tell? The distributor that I have has something that looks like it is in place of a points set. Is this Magnetic Trigger?? If so that sucks! Thank you for the response.

Actually, if it's a 1983 model, it could be a TFI distributor. Google is that way --> On Sun, 09 Mar 2008 18:21:10 -0700, m_a_volkerts rearranged some electrons to say: > Magnetic Trigger, How do i tell?

Ford magnetic trigger has three wires coming out of it. If you'll go to the link I gave you and look at the installation instructions for your favorite MSD box, they'll tell you how to hook up various types of ignition systems to their box.

Thank you. I found a points distributor, cap, rotor, and wirekit for 70 dollars. I can just put the points distributor from a 70s model 460 in this newer model on right?
