coil wiring

Figure on $40 to buy a rebuilt points distributor. Or, $20 for the control module ( called an ECU) and last time I checked the wiring harness for converting from points to electronic ignition was about $20. So either way you are going to spend $40 ish. The choice is do you want easy wiring (points) or a better more reliable ignition (electronic).

The other option is go to a junk yard that has some old cars and harvest the parts you need.

DGC333, this is good stuff. ill look up where to find the ecu/adapter wiring harness, but does anybody have an application that would use this distributor from the factory? that may help my search... the trans that came with this engine has an extra set of wires from it that my original 904 (that was in the trunk) doesnt have. i read somewhere that this hints that the trans is a lock-up, so i would assume this is a much later model motor/trans setup. Thanks everybody for the help.
