Best thing to do is consider replacing it with something more current....your choice of brand or as Ray Brenner at @HALLIFAXHOPS for his opinion. The pix of the rotor assembly looks like it came from a Prestolite Dual point distributor although I'm sure it's not but some type of magnetic pickup distributor. Replace it b4 it leaves you along the road somewhere ......just my opinion......

Likely a knockoff that you can't get parts for when you're on the side of the road,like Renton saidI just put points in a 66 Mustang Saturday.

Thanks guys! Yea that's what l was thinking as l'd like to go back to an OEM style.

@HALIFAXHOPS

What suggestion do you have for a 68 Charger (build date 1/22/68), 4-barrel carb, automatic transmission, electronic ignition.

 

[HALIFAXHOPS]

I can curve up a OEM one for it. To keep the wiring simple I would put a petronix unit in a points dist .

 

[The Rebel]

Thanks!

So, to make sure I understand, you'd take an OEM shell (with a date code close to my build date) and put electronic ignition guts in it.

Not sure if it helps but I have the purple cam (no idea which one or specs).

How much would that cost? We can discuss in a PM if you like or I can give you a call to discuss, just need your phone number.

Thanks in advance!

Call me way easier just sent my # Lots of ways of doing this. Now is good take say 5 min

Just noticed you are already wired for a ecu. I would just throw a mildly curved mopar electronic disributor in it. That ecu gold colored?

 

[The Rebel]

Hey Ray, thanks for the conversation as well as idea & price, definitely a winter project after the season is over.

Here are the pictures of the ECU we talked about that I have no idea what the numbers on the back mean.

 

[HALIFAXHOPS]

Inspection numbers.

Awesome. So if I'm reading this correctly mine is the last one?

 

[HALIFAXHOPS]

seems like it. Do not use the recomeneded ballast on the street it will burn it up.

 

[Don Frelier]

You do know there's a screw missing on the transistor?

Thanks. I'm using the one in my pictures, No issues so far after a few years with it on. Should I be using something different?

I think that's the picture as l just checked and both screws are there.

That one is OK the 1/4 ohm is pretty large. Around twice the girth. Race only thing cools down between runs.
