Duraspark parts needed, carb questions???

[bonedoc]

2 more questions guys. The coil...I assume just any simple 2 wire hook up coil..could even use a performance one...correct? And lastly..in the tech sheet where it lists parts for the conversion it list part number for two different plug connectors...do I need those or can I do with out them and use sturdy connectors?

coil and wires

Yea you can use any coil I assume but may need a ballast resistor If you use the stock coil you dont need a ballast but if you go hi performance I believe you do for the connector at least get the round three wire for the distributor connection and you can use any water proof connectors to wire the ignition depending how you need to wire it yours may need some testing wires from the ignition to get the start run circuit right. mine gets real good spark with the stock coil I am going with the if it works don`t fixit theory and build a GM setup that I can just plug in if necessary down the road. I made the mistake and pulled one of the plug wires while running with my left hand and got an arc about two inches with my right as my body fluttered gonna put the dielectric grease when I put the new plugs in at the plugs cap and rotor the wires are fairly new gonna keep them unless i have ussues at the plug ends

I am running the Ford stock "square" coil, and it is fairly cheap, common, and has a really good amount of "punch" to it, as far as voltage goes. I am very happy with it, esp. considering that it was allready under the hood, and a BUNCH cheaper than a "Hi-po" coil MSD, Accel, etc... Oh, make sure to disconnect the little condensor plug on the side of the coil if you go with the HEI set-up. The condensor is not needed, and can actually cause some issues, like a small stutter in the driving rpm range.
