No, you couldn't just put it in. You would need to rewire the system & get the right ignition box as well. I used a Pretronix once, it comes in a kit that replaces the points in the factory dist. for around 80$, & you don't need to change the wiring or need a box it worked great. Maby Accel or Mallory might make them too.
