no affence, but it does not have a dura spark II ignition system. I am familier with those. This has the ignition modual in the distributor on top of the stator . There is power to the coil when cranking & with the key on . I have tested the new coil & Distributor in another car even though they are new, and that car ran fine. The old one's tested bad by means of an ohms test , so that's why I replaced them.
