I used to have a 65 Mercury park lane convertible with a 390 engine with a points distributor.I replaced it with a mallory electronic ignition.It goes right in the original distributor and you cant even tell it is there.I also used a mallory coil that went with it(bought separately).I am sure they make a kit for that engine since it is a common engine.The exact same kit may fit.Check with your local speed shop or go right to mallory online.I am sure there are many places where you can buy one.I hope that helps.

How do you convert a points distributor to electronic distributor on a 65 galaxie 500 289 engine?

I have successfully used the Pertronix unit to replace points in a few cars, costs about $65. takes about 1/2 hour. You could also build a transistorized ignition system from a kit by Velleman (BGmicro.com) You keep the points but they last for a very long time as most of the switching current goes through a transistor.
