Keep your original ignition piece in your glove box in the event you are stuck on the side of the road.

The mopar performance books do address the dreaded lean burn, you could also look it up on the magazines. If you don't find it within a couple of days, PM me and I will dig through my books etc here.

Good luck with the Mopar.

Thanks Eric.
It appears the 76 (first year) might still have centrifical advance and no exhaust gas monitoring.
I see how to de-activate the system with a different distributor and a std type ECU.
I suppose I could just try it as is, but I think we both know what will probably happen.
