Duraspark ignition module connectors

[Sporto]

OK,
I did my part and searched the site to avail. A few weeks ago I read a post where someone was asking about connectors for the factory Duraspark ignition module, and one of the members here (DirtDonk probably) provided the NAPA Echlin numbers for the female 4 and 3 pin connectors that would be required to make a new harness.

Does anyone recall that thread or better yet know these two numbers offhand.

I know it was NAPA, and it was the factory connectors for the Duraspark ignition module.

Thanks!

Nevermind!! I found the thread. It was actually Viperwolf!

Here are the numbers that I found.

Replacement Connectors
3 pin – Napa ECH EC72
4 pin – Napa ECH EC127



I guess it helps to adjust the search parameters sometimes. ;D

Thanks!

My suggestion... I needed new connectors for my duraspark setup. For slightly more than the cost of the replacement connectors you can get a weatherpack kit that'll replace those connectors along with quite a few others. I got a kit like the one below, replaced the duraspark connectors and then some. Well worth the money. Just an idea

Thanks Nightstick...
I have weatherpack connectors on all of my Bronco's connectors with exception of the Duraspark. I wanted to have the ability to swap out a bad module or pickup along the road if I should happen to break down, so I kept them installed. It would be a lot of extra work if I had to swap connectors whatever new part that I bought to fit those on the harness.

However this particular setup that I am working on, is going into a Jeep CJ that I am restoring for a friend...Yeah I said it. ;D I trust my Bronco brethren on here to give me advice, more so than the Jeep crowd. I need to keep it as simple as I can for him as well. He has driven this Jeep from D.C. area to Panama (yeah the country) and back twice. He said he plans to do it again after I get back on the road for him, so you can see the pressure on me is great.

I think the Duraspark setup with a couple of blue tab modules and a pickup in the emergency kit is the way to go for that kind of driving.

Sounds like a good plan. A spare coil might be a good idea too.

I had two Duraspark modules mounted on the inner fender. Every 6 months, or whenever I remembered, I'd switch modules, just to make sure I had a good spare. Luckily, in the 5-6 years I ran the Duraspark, I never had a failure.

Just a follow up on this from last year. I created a harness from the parts above and wired a blue tab Duraspark module into new the Jeep CJ Painless harness.

Runs great! He has been driving it a lot. Not to Panama yet, but he is putting miles on it! The cheap "New" module that I put in failed before I got it out of the garage, but I a sourced a few Motorcraft OEM versions and installed one of them. He is using others as backup. He also has a backup coil per Viperwolf's suggestion. Not sure he would know how to change it though LOL!

Again this is just a follow up to let anyone know that the part numbers above worked great for creating a new Duraspark harness.

How about a connector for the female 2-pin on the Blue Box? NAPA carry those as well?

 

[DirtDonk]

Would be a long shot I bet. Because they come brand new on every module, they get replaced each time the module is. Not many need to replace the connector only I'm betting.
Or if they do, they go to plan-B and just make something work.

What happened in your case? Module still good but have a buggered connector?

I'm converting over to Dura-Spark from my '71 points system. I picked up a distributor, box (actually 3) and a loom from a fellow member on here. The loom has seen better days so I thought I would assemble a new "factory" style loom to fit my vehicle so the factory parts are still plug-n-play as I don't know which box is good. I assume all 3, but I don't really know.

It looks like the 3-prong and 4-prong connectors can be sources through NAPA but curious about the 2-prong unit. May have to visit a Pick-a-Part in my area but a new one wouldn't bother me either.

I couldn't find a two pin though napa, but you can use the three pin connector and just not use the third pin. Here is my thread and I made my own harness and made the three pin plug work as a two pin, you can see the harness in post 39.http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=258904&page=3
