What kind of wiring do I need for a Mopar ignition?
Installing the Mopar electronic ignition requires a distributor with the magnetic pickup, and one more wire to the ballast resistor. This wiring diagram is for the 1980 and later four pin ignition module. If you have an ignition harness with five wires, just don’t connect the dark green wire that would go to pin 3.
When did headlight wiring become part of engine compartment wiring?
From 1960 thru 1967 the headlight wiring was part of the engine compartment wiring, but that doesn’t affect anything shown here. 1964 and prior had a smaller bulkhead connector with only two plugs, but the basic circuits and the color coding are very similar from 1960 into the 1970s. An electronic ignition requires an electronic voltage regulator.
What was the engine compartment wiring diagram for a 1969 Valiant?
This is an engine compartment wiring diagram for a 1969 Valiant. B bodies had a horn relay rather than the horn button activating the horn directly. Other than that, they were very similar.

How to put spark plug wires in the correct firing order?
Compare the spark plug wires to the manual’s firing order and make sure each wire is attached to the correct distributor terminal. If engine backfires or runs rough, turn off engine and verify the wires are connected correctly.
How is the distributor cap connected to the spark plugs?
Picture the distributor cap as a crown that a king would wear. The points of the crown are where the distributor is connected to the spark plugs by spark plug wires. Each point connects to one spark plug, and each spark plug goes to one cylinder in your engine.
