I would just get a reman points dist and drop it in. just remove the negative - wire from the coil/harness and hook the points wire to it. only need the keyed hot wire to coil.

I have done too many on the side of the road repairs to fool with any of the 35 yr old elect crap on mopars.

when I get the chance I by-pass the BR for a full 12 volts to the coil and use a pertronix coil and points conversion in a points dist.

been running them this way for over 20 yrs with the same pertronix coil and conversion kit.

just swaped my 85 truck over to points and waiting on my conversion kit to come in.

you don't have to unhook any of the stock crap for this to work. just drop the 1 negative coil wire off and run points.

at least you can drive while you troubleshoot the crap stuff.

just my 0.02$
