i bought a racingbeat header and side draft intake with webber carb from pick-and-pull for $70. what do i need to up grade my distributor from points to electrical? i see all these trick mallory set up but i need some one to help me break it down so i can recreate that and know what it is. thank you and please forgive me for my ignorance.

easiest way is to grab the distributor from an 81-85 car. if you look in the 81-85 fsm, its like 3 wires to hook it up

wires and electricity scare the hell outta me. so theres no big complicated box that accompanys that hidding somewhere behind the fire wall?

j9fd3s

nope, 81-85 have everything mounted on the distributor. its an easy hookup, 3 power wires, and the 2 signal wires

Yeah I swapped to the electrical disty in my '80. A few wires and it's all cake. Get the wiring diagrams and it's pretty much all laid out.



If yours is a '79, you WILL NEED new coils. The '79 coils are 9v coils. Just grab some Blasters or something from AutoPwn.
