Here's a list of everything I bought to run duraspark, am I missing anything??????
1. 78 fairmont distributor(single vac)
2.cap
3.cap adapter
4.rotor
5.wells control module
6.8mm wires
7Accel coil

Do I need anything else to make this work. I dunno how to wire it, just cant figure it out!
Please help guys, Ive almost got my car runnin again!

Thanx alot, yeah I am only using the ignition module till I can afford the MSD one. I noticed the plugs coming off the ignition module and distributor dont hook up, does that mean I oughta cut the plugs off and just wire each wire individually??? How do I go about doing this. If all you do is take some wire and run it from the module to the coresponding wire on the distributor then twist them together, thats easy, but what guage wire should I run???

ok, I think Ive got where all the wires go, but now, how to connect everything. Do I just buy a big thing of wire and cut them to length and connect or is there a specific harness I should get??

Don't cut any wires yet! Let me double check my setup and get back to you.

Edit
You are missing the interconnect harness. This is the harness that runs between the DII module, the distributor, and the coil. While you could cut and splice these connectors to make it work, I do not recommend you do so. You may be able to find one of these harnesses at your local auto parts store in the "HELP" section, but I'm not certain. You can get this harness from any DII equipped car (an I6 car would be best, but any will work) at a wrecking yard for a minimal amount of $$. Just make sure it comes from a car with a blue strain relief on the module (other color strain reliefs may work, but I don't know which ones). The entire DII setup I used in my car cost less than $30, so the harness should be chump change.

With the interconnect harness, everything else will make sense.
 
Alright, I thought I was maybe missin somethin. I guess thats one more thing to try and track down while Im at it.

To be honest, I just had some 16ga wire, I cut 4 of them to the proper length, and wrapped them in electrical tape. You don't need the full harness and I don't think it's worth the effort if you do a nice, neat job of wrapping the wires.
 
yeah, I looked all over today for some wires and got nothin. I am gonna upgrade to an MSD sooner or later so I might just run my own wires anyways. Any objections?
