I think you put a solid wire in the shell of the BR..or conect the ends of the BR wires to gether for a full 12volts
I think you can leave all the ecu crap in place
I run a points dist with the pertronix points conversion on my 85 truck
I just hooked the red to positive side of coil with the keyed/hot wire from harness and the black wire to the negitive side of coil
all wireing and ecu crap is still hooked up and in place...just by passed with the conversion unit in the dizzy
cant tell unless you are looking for the wiresout of the dizzy
if you got the billet plug and play dist thats the newest thing out
some one was installing one the other day and had a lot of probs and did not work right
may do a search for that thred and read it
good luck with it
