I'm using the MSD myself, but the Duraspark is the same diameter - can't see why it wouldn't work with the small cap on it. I'm considering swapping out the MSD for a Duraspark to see if the vacuum advance yields better highway mileage.
As far as the vacuum cannister - 60's Fords used vacuum advance and the puke tank on FEs without a problem. Obviously the Duraspark wasn't around in the 60s.
