Question on swapping out to E-12 80

[siteunseen]

I've cleaned the inside of the distributor up good and lightly sanded the tips of the rotor and the magnets. Should I put dielectric grease on anything inside? I have a new button and cap. Thanks for any replies.

All I can say is Wow! Fire jumps from the end of the plug wire boot to the tip of the plug almost 1/4". Before I did it I checked and I had to have the boot over the tip to fire the plug. Raining now so I can't do any burnouts but I'll do one in my living room tonight. Thanks for the Tech Tip Blue!

What do I do with the black and blue 12 volt wire? And can I put my '77 discripuater on my '72? Wow!

You can put the 77 distributor on the 72, but you'll need an HEI or something like it to trigger the spark.
