What years work in a 428? Been told a 75-76 390 will work. Is this correct? And, is there an adaptor for an MSD box.

I'm not an FE expert by any means, but....

The online chain store sites list the same part # points distributor for a 390 and 428, so I would assume the 75-76 Duraspark (listed for a 390) will also fit.

A friend of mine has one on the 390 in his 69 F350 ramp truck/race car hauler. Works great.

You can use it with an MSD box. No adapter needed. (They do sell one, but you really only need it if you use a Ford coil with the horseshoe connector ). Just wire it up per MSD:

You can also use a Ford Durasprak contol box.

The reman Durspark distributors genrally run around $40 + core charge at parst stores.

BTW, article on how to recurve one for preformance use. The distribtor in question is for a 460, but the info is the same for any Duraspark.
