The DSII is cheaper and still a very easy install. I used the GM 4pin module, very simple to wire.

Do not forget the DUI option, I bit the bullet and ordered one, have not recieved it yet but am very excited. It is the most simple instal, pop it in and a one wire connect, how ever I know it is pricy, I just think in the long run it will be my preferred choice and give me the best return in the long run.

Just measured the distance from the A/C compressor to the distributor and looks like the DSII will not clear, so Pertronix will be the way I go on my Maverick, but I will try the DSII on the Ranchero

Why not find a DSI?? Smaller dizzy cap.. I actually believe its the same cap as a points cap..

I'll be using the DSI set-up as its what came with my engine.
It looks relatively stock and works well with an MSD box..

For the most part DSI is the same as a DSII except it doesnt have the start retard function and the wide dizzy cap..
There might be some differences in the modules as there were many different modules over the years..
