Post subject:  Wiring for electronic ignition on an older engine?

I'm close to being ready to fire up the 225 /6 in my '63 Town Panel. The engine is from a '69 Dart, but the distributor is electronic ignition. The ignition module on the firewall of the Dart was red. I'm ready to buy a module and hook it up, but how do I wire this? Do I use the single resistor, a double, or do I even need it with this setup?

Thanks

Are you set on using the Chrysler ignition module or would you prefer something that can give you better reliability.

SlantsixDan has a nice little GM HEI conversion that lots of people here are having great success with.

here is a link to the how-to http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15779

I would love to see photos of your town panel, I have a 48/49 Panel that is going to be my next project.

There is an excellent diagram in the technical section of www.earlycuda.org

I've already got the Dodge distributor, I just want to run it. The engine is stock and will pretty much stay that way for now.

Here's an album of pics of my truck. The early pics are from the guy I bought it from.

The only diagram I could find there is for the charging system. It does show very basic ignition also, but nothing for the electronic ignition.

I may be missing something, but this was the only one I could find there.

Looks like it won't be needed right now anyway. I just bought a points type distributor cheap. I've still gotta hook up the exhaust and radiator, as well as a few other minor issues, as well as going thru the brakes before it's ready to be driven.
