.... place an add for a regular electronic distributor. its a direct plug in for your electronic ignition. im sure someone has one for cheap.

can usually find them dirt cheap used


hell pep boys sells rebuilt ones for $39 http://www.pepboys.com/parts/igniti...00430/1974/DODGE/DARTDEMONSWINGER/0-V831852L/

ssdan knows a place that will sell new ones too...



or look in to putting a HEI kit together.. thats cheaper then a msd.

points go to the negative side of the coil.

1---First try this----When you get the car close to "alive" turn the key to run and try grounding one or the other of the distributor pickup coil leads. I'm referring, here, to leaving the ECU all hooked up ala /6. If it generates a spark, and it should, just hook your points dist to that terminal.

2--If for some reason that does not work, you can leave the ECU in place. Simply unplug the ECU connector, hook everything up as it was on the /6, including the original ballast resistor, but leave the old coil NEG wire unhooked. Hook your points dist. instead to the coil NEG and you should be all set.

Keep in mind you MUST have a good condenser (capacitor) in the distributor to work, and "new" does not mean "good."
