Alrighty then!
The reason I started answering on here years ago was I noticed that the Jeep CJ's (and other vehicles) were receiving vague/short and sweet/very technical answers. If I were a bit younger and more vehicle ignorant, I would have been mega lost and probably would have stopped replying just as they did.
So, my goal was to give all the information I could/ pictures (if possible) and have the patience to get my information through even the hardest of heads! Back then, I had no typing experience and had never tackled a home computer system ever. I want you to be running, have more Jeep knowledge with more "fix it ability", and lastly, you considering CJ MEDEVAC to be your new Jeep Buddy.
Being that I need outside help to get you going on this upgrade, I may be stepping out of bounds to get you this great information (I believe this may be one of your weakness'?).
Unless you are familiar with soldering, this is the next best thing you can do. It is fast and easy and is done most of the time. Some of the steps are good, but really not necessary.

Butt splicing-that is the ticket.

You are now ready to jump on this.
Your new module needs to be bolted down so that it grounds.
You may have to go back and forth between diagrams to get better views.
1) This is the upgrade like a 1979 - it must be connected exactly like this.
2) Lots of time making this (may be hard to see?). This is a partial 1977 diagram showing you where to tie in the feed wires for the '1979 system.
3) "Willy" (Restored in 1993) With a new 2017 paint job and insignia.
4) One of "Willy's" brothers in WWII, yep even now, 72 years later, I find those magnets stuck to mine when I get back out in the parking lot!
I did not show the 1979 coil connector being tied onto the old 1977 coil wires. If it is not clear as to what to do, let me know, I will fix you up.
Once we get it running, we will tune it up to get it all back to its correct settings.
Let's see some progress, or ask away, that is what I am here for.
