motorcraft duraspark and terminal on carb ?

[scoooby slayer]

im just curious what 4 cylinder cars this was fitted to ? i have just removed a faulty one from the crossflow wondered its origins ? its has a module box with it with about 10 wires in it and still on vac adv on the dizzy ?

 

 

 

also there was a wire on the carb than ran from the coil + but it gets hot so ive unplugged it. i dont know what it is, in the pic its the threaded bolt sticking out of the carb on the black cylinder facing towards the rad ?

duraspark box was fitted to mk2 granadas 2.8 2.3,we use them on banger cars as they are easy to wire & take a normal 12volt feed. There are a few different sorts but all will swap with each other

That terminal on the carb is for leccy choke (runs off the alt) usually again on V6 cortina and granada

Mk1 XR2 used Duraspark too

would a 6 cylinder one work on a 4 cly? i guess it just see a signal from the chopper and fires the coil, never tried it TBH

cool thanks il just run a cable from the alt main cable to the terminal then

 

this is what the car actually is

 

 

 

its a dutton phaeton built from a 1969 1600 cortina and its 1969 on the reg so tax exempt only had it 4 days got spark today so hopefully i can get her fired up tmrw with a bit of luck.

yeah they will work,we have 1 loom we use for pinto or v6 complete with distributors for both engines.

sweet handy to know

 

OP

you have to run the live through a sensor otherwise the choke will be on all the time, you need a 2 terminal sensor that will lower the voltage as the engine water heats up, either a V6 one or some transit Di's use em for thier coldstart, depending on what thread the hole your gonna use for the sensor is
