Default Re: Phil B's XB coupe

Well today was the last day of daily duties for the coupe. Will be much nicer on my wallet, driving 110km each day through a mountain pass was expensive in the coupe!

On a good note though, since the timing chain was replaced it's driven very well with no problems at all!

The old distributor is pretty stuffed though so I'm thinking it's time to finally put that electronic distributor on.
So what will I need to be able to make it work?
Do I need a new coil for it?
What are the wiring mods? Removing the ballast resistor from the coil power wire?
Any other things I'll need?

Also I showed a mechanic friend my coupe today (he used to own a few) and he said that he'd never seen a distributor where the gear isn't fixed to the shaft, the gear end slides off with a drive tang. Is this normal? And also he was worried about installing it without the gear falling off, do you just use some grease to hold it on while you install it?
