Ignition System Parts

Copyright © 2002-2003 Dave Resch
All rights reserved.


This section lists Ford part numbers, calibration ID codes, and Motorcraft part numbers (if available) for the following M-block (351M/400) ignition system parts:

  • Distributors

  • Vacuum advance modules

  • DuraSpark II ignition control modules

  • Miscellaneous ignition parts

Check out this section if you are not familiar with Ford part numbers and ID codes.

Distributors

All M-block (351M/400) distributors are mechanically interchangeable with all 351C engines and all 385-series (429/460) engines. However, much like carburetors, distributors are calibrated for a specific vehicle and engine application.

Distributor calibration includes:

  • Vacuum advance specification — total advance and threshold vacuum

  • Mechanical (centrifugal) advance specification — total advance and “curve” (i.e., the rate at which advance comes in and the engine speed at total advance)

The following tables list calibration ID codes and Ford service part numbers for M-block (351M/400) truck engine distributors.

These tables are organized by model year and truck model, with a complete table for each model year from 1977 to 1982.

Some of these distributors are still available as brand new, complete assemblies from Ford. Prices range from under $100 to over $500 each. Unless obsolete, you can use the Ford service part number to order one of these distributors from a Ford dealer parts department.
