Reply to "Duraspark vs MSD distributor"

George,
Thanks. The connectors on the Standard Motor Products LX210 module, by the way "made in the USA", are potted and looked very well put together, so I opted to cut the two wires on the Painless harness and used quality heat shrink butt splices. I did this at the module connector end because I choose to use the clip on coil connector and also did not want to modify the dizzy connector end. However that does mean if I break down, I need a I module instead of a II module. Probably hard to find at the corner parts store and no series resistor would only make it worse to run a II even temporarily. Rock Auto sells the LX-210 (Duraspark I) for about $70.00.

I have attached two views of the module connectors. The II diagram is easy to read. The I diagram is from a vendor catalog and is hard to make out, but correct. I also included a link to an Autozone repair guide that has good schematic for a I system, but you have to click on the "enlarge" button to see it. It does show no coil feed resistor and mentions in the text that the I system gets full battery voltage for a hotter spark.
