What kind of Ignition do you need for a V-8 Ford Ranger?

For a V-8 swap using a carburetor, I recommend using an early to mid 1970’s Duraspark II ignition. Try to find a V-8 from this era with the distributor and ignition still intact. It has a wiring harness that goes from the module on the wheel well to the distributor, and the original power harness from the Ranger should plug right into it.
