The Duraspark II was used between 1977 and 1984. There were at least two different types that can be identified by the color of the connector to the amplifier box- one is blue the other is yellow. They use a 2-piece distributor cap, the top cap has the terminals, the bottom is an adapter that fits onto the small diameter distributor body and fits the larger diameter cap section to it.

The system consists of the distributor, coil (external), amplifier box, wiring, and connectors. If the original Duraspark II coil is to be used, it needs to be supplied with about 9 VDC, not full battery current. That means a ballast resistor or resistor wire needs to be used. Optionally, a different coil that can use 12 VDC can be substituted for the DS II coil. The Duraspark II module (blue strain relief) needs '''full''' battery voltage.
