Early A Points to Electronic Ignition Conversion
Yep,
That is how I wired mine. Works like a champ. The factory instructions, and prints that come with the kit will drive you mad. There are all kinds of mistakes in them.

That diagram with the yellow wire is WRONG
Are you using the Mopar 4 pin ECU, and 2 pin ballast? If so, just use the correct ballast for the ECU/ coil and hook it right up the way your points were
In other words hook the ballast up to the original ballast connectors, assuming they are not damaged, or replace them.
Hook the original coil + wire up to the coil + (You only had one with a ring terminal, the other came off the distributor)
Then wire the rest of it like this diagram:
You need a pigtail for the Mopar ECU with a dist. pickup connector (the two terminal connector) so that is "done."
Then you take the one wire as shown from the box and hook it to coil NEG
Then you take the SECOND wire as shown and wire it to the "ignition switch" side of the ballast resistor. This is the side that does NOT have a brown wire hooked in. If it's easier, you can splice into the regulator "IGN" wire.
ON A SIDE NOTE:
If your old "points" dist is not worn out, keep a spare set of points / condenser and the dist. in your trunk. If the electronics dies on the road, ALL you have to do to get goin' is slam the old points unit back in the engine, pull loose the plug on the ECU, and hook the points wire back up to coil NEG with NO other changes!!!
