Has anyone tried these?  They aren't the "stock look," but they look easier....

I've seen them on Ebag, here's a link for one...

Here's the 440 I was looking at.

Guy seems to have pretty good feedback.   :shruggy:

That does look like the same setup.

Question is, does anyone have any experience running them?

I got my 68 as a rolling chassis.  I have a clump of wires and no idea where or what they are.  I figure, get the new Year One harness; I believe the wires come labled?  (Correct me, if I'm wrong)   But I'm leaning toward this distributor because it looks quite efficient.

My Voltage Regulator question is:   Is the plug the same for the old style regulator as the new electric regulator?  Or does something need to be modified?

And, being a rookie, the voltage regulator controls voltage off the alternator for the whole car.  So, getting an electric VR won't have any effect on which route I choose for my ignition system?

I don't think any replacement harnesses will come with labels, the wires are color coded.

There is no "plug" on a '68 voltage regulator, one wire attaches with a screw and the other is a push-on spade terminal. Most (if not all) replacement regulators will have electronic internals. The '70 and later regulator is electronic with a plug connector but will need some rewiring and a different alternator.

The regulator won't affect the distributor choice.
