The 3A has a mechanical distributor (points) and the 3AC has an "electronic" distributor.
inside the distributor.
Cap and rotor, yes. Points, no.
There are no breaker points in a Dodge vehicle that new. That vehicle has electronic ignition. If the distributor has been changed you must use the spec that corresponds to the vehicle the distributor originally came from. Probably 0.014-0.019 inch. Please note: the 318 is an engine, not a motor.
If it has points in the distributor then it is 0.035 If it has an HEI distributor then it is 0.045
Yes you just have to take the plug out of the head to put in the distributor.
18436572 should be the same for the 304 v8 with either ignition as the motor is timed to make it run in a balanced smooth manner. After the electronic sends voltage to the coil the system functions the same as a conventional breaker system.
If you are talking about points and condensor for your automobile they are located inside of your distributor located on you motor.
It depends on what motor you are talking about. If it is a newer motor it may have no points or condenser. Most points and condensers are usually located on the end of the crank shaft under the fly wheel.
Disconnect the negative battery cable, then remove the distributor cap. Rotate the motor with a 15/16 socket wrench by the big bolt in the middle of the crankshaft pulley until one of the distributor cam lobes is on the rubbing block on the points. That will have the points open. Loosen the two screws holding the points to the distributor and use a feeler blade of the appropriate thickness for your motor's point specs, and tighten the two screws holding the points. Nothing to it. I
Most points will set at 15 thousandths.
Yes if it is the 2.2l engine it will fit you just have to plug the distributor hole cause 97 has coil packs
