I bought a CRT Performance distributor with 8mm wires. It comes with the coil as well.

This is a 73 f250 with a 360 (FYI)

All I need to do is to hook up a 12v wire. The original coil wire is not 12v, as the truck is wired for points? Where is the best place to get a 12v switched wire from? I have considered just running a wire from the battery and putting a toggle switch on it, hoping to never forget to turn it off when done driving. The wire also needs to be "hot" in the "start" position as well, eh?

My knowledge on these old cars is not what it used to be, I do not remember needing this much help in the past.

Thank you, Randy
