Those appear to be 2 piece adjustable, The Comp magnums ones I have messed with were 1 piece, and made wrong.Are these what you had?

yes, mine were 1 piece. The new ones "improved" by Comp Cams are still one pieceThose appear to be 2 piece adjustable, The Comp magnums ones I have messed with were 1 piece, and made wrong.
Yes, it had the guide plates, but a couple of the push rods were scrapping it. Comp Cams admitted they had a bunch of "wrong" plates out there and sent him a new box. I didn't install them because the rockers "rocked" all over. I think the same roller rocker used on GM's is the same rollers they give for Mopars???? It's non-adjustable but does "adjust" by the center nut. Anyways, I installed the factory magnum rockers/guide plates I happen to have which fit snug as a bug in a rug.
or, should I decide to go points, I'd already have my 12V wire. Just install ballast in it, and run it to the coil, and then the 1 wire dizzy to the neg coil and boom! Fire!Good. On the other thread about the distributor, I meant to tell you that since you have the GM style HEI, it DOES NOT require a resistor of any kind. It gets straight 12V. Which may be to your advantage to check and MAKE SURE it is 12V because it won't run right unless it is.

that is my goal. I need to figure all what runs through that black box. I believe the fuel pump too. It will be learning for me….Right. But I'd get rid of the black box either way.

honestly, i'd feel best if I pulled the tank and removed the electric pump and put a straight pick up in it's place, then run the mechanical fuel pump. He put a Comp Cam in it with the snout for the eccentric, but he said he didn't put the eccentric on it. I can pull the front down and put the eccentric on it then. Also, a good points distributor and I'd feel bullet proof, with a small bag of parts under the bed.Get you a factory service manual for it. That will show you the way.

Also, that black ugly box "computer" acts as the voltage regulator as well. Another one of it's star functions.Good.

Taking a step backwards. lol maybe not, simple ignition system.Look what came in today.... this may be my route on this van.... or it will end up in my '74 Duster.

I like the factory Chrysler electronic ignition that we refer too.. from '72 up till lean burn. But this van has a black box computer. Here are my questions. IF I'm 5 states away from home and....Taking a step backwards. lol maybe not, simple ignition system.
Man how times have changed. I saved under a 100 bucks in the late 70's to switch from dual points to electronic.
I made 50 bucks a week part time, so it took some time to save. lol
I remember the beautiful red plastic case the DC kit came in, no more points.
My old 74 Bayliner had a Mallory point distributor, replaced them with pertronics. never had to replace burned points on the lake again.
Can you imagine replacing points on choppy water after the kids left the key on. lol
Never again !

I may end up having to. We'll see what direction I end up going.Are you wiring in a voltage regulator too? Pretty easy to do.
