Reply to "Installing Ford DuraSpark Module - Glenn C"

My module does not have a blue wire (what would it do?) and another thing, not important I guess, is the wires leaving the module are not in the same order.
I've got green, pink, black, purple, orange, white, and another black that's grounded to one of the module mounting screws.
I think I'll get the manifold and carb installed and get it running before I change anything, then I'm going to try and find a red DS1 module and a new coil and rewire to match your schematic. I'll have to reset my initial timing at this point too right? That and the new starter should ease hot starts.
It looks as if it would be relatively simple to install engine bay ignition and starter bypass switches when doing this rewire. Maybe use a DPDT switch to allow control from the ignition key switch (normal operation) or from an SPST (ignition)and a momentary (cranking) in the engine bay. Power for the engine bay switches would be fused but come directly from the battery via the starter solenoid.
Might be nice to have this isolated system to get you home in the event of cabin ignition switch failure or other electrical gremlins.
What do you think?
