Thanks Barry all my books show points then electronic mid 72 is the switch.
Some late 71's had electronics, not really sure of the cut off date. Sure I can figure it out though,

Now here's proff.If talking about Chrysler Electronic, 1972 in 340 cars only.Now I have heard of late 71 340 cars but have no proof of that.
Pretty sure it was "some" in 72. I bought a low miles 71 340 in a junk yard, back "then" and swapped it into my 70 RR. It had a Prestolite dual point, which I still may have.......somewhere. The 72 shop manual wiring diagrams depict both breaker points and treat the electronic in a separate diagram......as if it were an option. The C barge seems to show it native, the diagram for the Val shows points
Now here's proff.
Trust me I was doing dist work for everyone in the hood before it came out. When I started working on cars the alternator was the newest thing out. Seriously. I can still remember when my boss and I seen our first set of disc brakes. Ya old but still racing & wrenching. Right now I going to check the engine date on my 71 340 motor and the build date on my charger. Be right back.
51 years, longer then I had the wife. And those 260 decals are the real deal.
