Q: how do i convert my ignition back to points (yes, i am frequently asked how to do it)
A: first, buy a distributor for a 1968 240/300.
then look through the wire harness going to the ignition module (which you're getting rid of) to find the wire which is hot while running. if there is a resistor wire already in the circuit, connect this wire directly to the + side of the coil; otherwise, connect it to the coil through a ballast resistor.
also run a wire from the (I) terminal of the starter solenoid to the + side of the coil. (WARNING: do not use the wire that is hot while starting at the module for this purpose)
next, connect the wire coming out of the bottom of the distributor to the - side of the coil.
thats all there is to it. now its just tuning. dwell = 37-42, plug gap = around 0.030, timing is wherever its right
yes, its really that simple
