Replacing the electronic ignition with points - 1977 400 4V

I don't understand, because with the battery disconnected there is no complete circuit. I'm not saying your wrong, just I don't understand how. I find it very interesting. Something I will have to do more research on.

Very good move for reasons not yet obvious . Points cars are the only ones that will be running after an EMP strike. I know I sound crazy but you will find out over the next year. No negative comments please.

Next you'll have stories about chemtrails, mind control soundwaves and alien abductions.

Destroys all electronics any way. The pulse activates a flow of trons through the circuits.

If you had a lean burn distributor and haven’t swapped it out thats going to be a problem. I believe they are fixed timing no centrifugal advance.

Once I got an emergency with an ECU failure and had by causality a points distributor into the trunk. You only have to disconect the - lead of the coil coming from ECU and connect there the distributor pigtail… and you are done.

Rest of wiring can be still where is. Althought better if you disconect also the ECU just to not keep it energized being able still to get and send signals with elect dist plug and coil wire floating loose around.
