No, the pertronix ignitor system his car has now got built in the ECU into the dist pickup.
Didn't get instructions sheet?
Wow! That's the info I was looking for complete with diagrams! Thanks!This is the harness you will be getting

This is the diagram using 4 pins ECU and single ballast which is mostly sure the setup you could be setting, where the green traced red wire on harness wouldn't be used.

And with 5 pins dual ballast where all the harness wiring would be used

NOTE, I would set it for 5 pins dual ballast just in case.
My car has the two wire voltage regulator. Is it replaced with the new ECU?This is the harness you will be getting

Thanks! I decided to keep my points distributor with the Pertronix unit. I took my dizzy apart and the weights were gummed up. Plus it had one small spring and one real heavy one with a longer loop on the outside. I thought that was weird so I added another small spring I had leftover in my box of parts and the timming issue is solved. That plus a little brake kleen and grease and the car has never run better.I am not a fan of Mopar electronic ignition, even tho it is used by nearly everyone. So much simpler to use a good stock points dist, convert it to a pertronix III ignition , use a coil that has internal resister ( any parts store) and throw that friggen ballast resister away ! Or use one of Pertronix hotter coils. With the Pert.III kit, you use no special adapter on the points cam-no air gap--and you change the entire plate, which lets you keep your old points plat to re-install easily , in case if there ever was a electronic problem . No orange box, black box, silver box, nothing but what goes inside the stock dist. and the coil. And, so easy to wire using your stock wiring. I am sold on mine........................MO
So I’m finally going to upgrade my ignition system. The brown wire you spoke of is attached to a blue wire on one side of my resistor. Do I just cut it out?Oh! Need to say on those diagrams is missed the ballast bypass wire ( must be brown ) coming from ign 2 and spliced into the ballast end to the coil lead wire, which in any case is not important to be drawn on the upgrade diagram, because you won't be dealing with that... Just an informative post thought
Thanks. So you meant they left out the fact that you need to keep it?No, that's the ballast bypass for higher voltage to coil when cranking up
