Re: [Chrysler300] just joined and sure could use your help

Perhaps someone here can confirm this, but I thought most or all of the 
dual points distributors thru about 1965 were pretty much the same as to 
points, condensors, caps, etc.  If that is correct and assuming yours is 
Chrysler and not aftermarket, just get parts for  a known Chrysler dual 
point unit - or alternately try to get a casting or part number and I'm 
sure someone here can tell you what it came from.
