Biohazard
Alright, let's get caught up...
I bought one of those "ready to run" electronic HEI distributor systems. Came complete with 40kV coil.
Install was pretty easy. Some notes:
The coil bracket = useless. Not designed to fit SB Mopar manifolds. I used my stocker.
The positive wire to the coil has a D shaped terminal on it (factory); I had to drill and round it out to slip over the positive lug on the new coil. No biggie.
Works like champ, I have to say.

Set initial timing to 13 degrees. So easy since the ignition firing was absolutely locked in place. Under the timing gun, my TDC mark didn't move AT ALL as opposed to the fore and aft drift I was getting with stock ignition gear. Man, what a difference. It even made my timing gun work better because the inductive pickup was able to 'feel' the ignition pulse more easily. All around just awesome and eliminates suspects while trying to sort the motor out.
