Where do wires from harness, module and distributor tie in? Two plugs on module and one on distributor.

This is sort of out of order on how I usually answer this.

I've done this a few times trying to perfect it each time.

You have "Prestolite" ignition now. It's been my experience that too many things can and will go wrong with it, and will, just at the perfect times!

In 1979 the "Motorcraft" came into being in the CJs and was a super improvement. I rarely have or see faults with it.

Let's try this approach for an expedient upgrade.

No, I'm not trying to sluff you off, I definitely want you to return here with your own specific questions and concerns. I love talking Jeep!

Check out this link.

I can and will make diagrams to attempt to make things easier and for you to understand. I do want you to be 100% confident in your Jeep task before you jump in, drill me if you must!

See you really soon, "right here" (please do not add on to the post I'm linking you to)
