i decided i would go with a reman electronic distributor and stock ignition module to convert my 58 to electronic ignition. Does anybody know where I can get a wiring diagram to wire it in correctly? The dist. and mod are for a 75 f150

Used to be a company that advertised on eBay selling schematics for old cars... They were fairly decent on price, and came laminated.... Not a bad idea for a schematic that's going to be out in the shop.... Don't remember their name at all, just that they were on eBay---might want to look there!
This is for a Mustang but most are all the same, that came of an Inliners Board...joe

The stock ignition wiring diagram looks daunting but all of the wiring is contained within the harness. This leaves only two connections which have to be made: a red
wire which is connected to a switched 12V source and a white wire which goes to the start terminal of the ignition switch. The white wire is optional. When used it
retards the spark a couple of degrees to reduce the load on the starter (an enterprising hot rodder might hook this up to a nitrous switch to retard the spark when the
juice is on). When selecting the module, the one to ask for is the one with a "blue strain relief".
Thanks toomany that is exactly what i needed. I love this forum. Thanks to you too Dave I will look on ebay too to see what else i can find for my project. I never know what I may do next. My goal for right now is get the fairlane to a point I can drive it.
