Cathy,
I can't help with the trunk lid but you shouldn't have a problem finding
one. (Found 3 for mine.) However on the electronic ignition, I would
strongly suggest chancing it if it is the original unit offered on the '79.
This is the one with the module on the distributor. Mine rolled a seven and
it earned the B a ride home on a flatbed. It has a points distributor now.
Even that one is worn but I can readjust the points when needed. The local
NAPA quoted me a little over $100.00 for a new (points) distributor (with
exchange). If your B has points in it now then the PO already got stuck. In
that case a Perctronics unit from Northern Auto Parts mail order (their web
site is on my links page) would work well.
Good luck!
