Reply to "Installing Ford DuraSpark Module - Glenn C"

Would you please help me identify my module as Duraspark 1 or 2? It bears Motorcraft P/N D5AE 12A199 A1D. Green strain reliever.
I googled the P/N and it came up as a generic 1975 module. Were there hi-po versions? Would they be a one or a two?
Mine is wired differently than the sketches. My white and red (looks more pink to me) are joined together just after the connector and head off as one red wire. I think it runs (through a sheath) to the + side of the coil. This I'll confirm.
Looking at what the white wire is doing in your sketches, I think my configuration is hurting low voltage spark production. Like when starting. I supposed there was a reason to have two wires.
My distributor P/N is OE O1 D9TE 12127 AKA, brown dot on vacuum advance. Googles as 1979 Bronco with auto trans. Good? Bad? Doesn't matter? I checked with a local engine builder to see if he could curve my distributor to match my cam and other engine parameters. Said he couldn't do electronic distributors and didn't recommend I pursue it. Should I look further while mine is still easy to get out?
Thanks.
