Hey folks,

I purchased an electronic distributor + wiring harness and control unit from a 1975 164 and want to install it in my '74. I don't have a wiring diagram for a '75, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

There are three wires that plug into my existing distributor -- there is the same plug on the new dizzy, so I assume those wires just plug straight into the new dizzy.

There are three wires coming out of the control unit -- one black (I think this is the ground wire, so I'll ground it), one white, and one blue. I don't have a clue where the white or blue wires go.

Has anyone done this conversion before, or have any input for me?

Thanks,
Lee
