I Have done stuff like this before , as in my younger days when I really
would work on my 69 and 74( no Money) would I be able to swapp a 1974
new Yorker Electronic distributor to my 68.
Luis,
There are
many places that sell these kits. Ebay usually has them, as does Mancini and
you can also get them direct from Chrysler (Mopar Connections) . They are
somewhere between $150.00 to $200.00 depending on who has them. You can get
them from the wrecking yards as well, but quite often the ignition box is
burnt out. The kits consists of the distributor, electronic ignition box, wire
harness and resistor. Very easy to do, as long as you mark your distributor as
to which cylinder is firing when you remove it and put it back with the rotor
pointing to the same place. Also, note that the distributors are different
between the Big Block 'B' or low block and 'RB' or raised block engines. The
ones for the 'RB' are about 3/4 inch taller to take into account the increased
block height.

Is there anything on this at our site about this conversion,
if there is I can't find it. Is there a conversion kit I can buy?
Thanks Luis
