    Thanks to Krob725, we now have a page that shows how civilian type plug wires can be adapted directly to the military distributor using co-ax cable end parts. It is online here:

    I will be putting a link to this page in the online manuals section linked at left for future reference.

    This is what I have done so far. I bought CB connectors at a local truckstop($1.65 ea.) and the tips are spark plug coil connectors for motorcycles,wires are from motorcycles also.(7mm copper solid core)
    I used plastic compression washers and silicon to seal and hold the wire,didn't really need to, the CB connector holds it really tight.
    Next is a (24v) Point-Less ignition ,fits perfect just need the right connectors and splice existing harness. I also found some braided casing that looks like original military wires, so I may cover the new wires to make them look stock(old?) It's some fun tinkering!

    I just ordered the ignition, I used one (12V) previously on a Chevy 194 straight six and it worked perfectly. Local Hot Rod shop ordered it for me.
    $62 w/ tax. HEI conversion was looking alot more expensive! This keeps the Stock Look.
