I found a great electronic distributor on ebay, and I want to know what I would need to make the conversion? Also, where can I get these parts?

Well, you can do it a few ways.

Option #1:
Go to chrysler dealer and ask for an electronic ignition wiring harness. should be about $20, then pick up an ECU for another $20 at the local autoparts store, along with a ballast resistor.

Option #2:
Use a GM HEI Module. Make your own wiring harness from the diagram on my site ( <A HREF="http://liquid2k.com/duster318/tech/hei. ... ei.html</A> or the link below) and buy the connectors and module at the parts store.

Option #3 is to go to a local wrecking yard and get all the wires, plug ends, ballast resist. and ECU from any non lean burn Chrysler electronic ignition car, truck or van. (only the distributer is different for the V8)
Wire the system per the diagram in the site's articles section.

Another option (if you haven't bought the distributor yet) is to use a Pertronix Ignitor which converts your points distributor to electronic. The whole thing is contained within the distributor so there is no outside electronic module to mount somewhere. I just installed one on my 66 Dart Slant Six. Do a search for "Pertronix Ignitor" on E-Bay. There are several vendors there.
