Made progress today, but am currently stymied by 2 hold-ups - locating
alternator brackets (mine were left on the
engine I exchanged, and the engine I bought doesn't have them!) and getting the
old, catalytic converter downpipe out of the
exhaust system - I have a '75 downpipe that I will be using. But got the
manifold on and connected most of the wires and
hoses that I can at this point.
Here is the new problem - the distributor on the '75 is different from the
distributor on the '76. The latter has a box next to the
Chinese hat, and there is a 3-pronged connector from the wiring harness. The
'75 has no box, and a single short wire comes
out of it. See the pictures I linked below.

So, any ideas on how to wire up the '75 distributor?
