Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / April 2005Distributor in a 390...?
http://i20.ebayimg.com/02/i/03/64/e8/d0_3.JPG Is this a Duraspark II? Rob Not enough information to tell. The cap and wires are Duraspark, but that is a common modification to points type dizzys. I do not see a Duraspark box mounted to the wheelwell. I believe Durasparks came about in 1972 or 1973, for sure on the 74 models. Think the 390 was gone by then.

The EI plug wires will probably last longer with the point type ignition system. Its possible that someone installed a Duraspark ignition from a 74ish pickup truck with a 360. >Not enough information to tell.

Yeah, I don't either. Odd vehicle. Radiator looks like a 360, not 390. (we can't go by the air cleaner sticker) >I believe Durasparks came about in 1972 or 1973, for sure on the 74 models. Late 1974 and all 1975 used the '75 module with the old cap/rotor/wires. 1976 used the '76+ module with the old cap/rotor/wires. 1975 and 1976 used a blue cap instead of black. Yeah, rotor also blue instead of black. 1977+ used the new cap/rotor/wires. >Think the 390 was gone by then. I know the last year for the 360 was 1976. |
