Back in 2007 I bought this M37 and now that I have retired I am trying to get it running. The distributor has no points or condenser in it. What does one buy at the local parts store for a 1963 M37? Isn't there a parts conversion list somewhere for plugs, points, condenser, etc? Can't seem to find it with the search feature?
Looks like I need to post a smaller picture somehow.

Was searching in the wrong forum, found Napa Echlin CS725A for points and AL869 for condenser in the Technical forum.

Don't know how current the numbers are.

Points SMP# AL-4556XP GAP=.020

Condenser SMP# AL-118X

Rotor SMP# AL-150

Spark Plugs Autolite# 295

Coil, Cap, Wires from MV part suppliers only.

Auto-lite plug # 295 listed above is not the waterproof original type plug for M37, and is not compatible with mil spec waterproof cables. 295 is a civilian plug that would be used in a situation where a system is being converted to a 12-volt civilian set up, and waterproof components are not being used.

good chance to install a Pertronix

Welcome to retirement, now you will wonder how you had time to work.

FWIW ... Ditch the points! I did the Pertronix upgrade in my M-37 and I couldn't be happier with it. Very easy to do and you don't have the hassle of the points, condenser blah blah blah.

I did it on a spur of the moment decision and my test drive was a 250-mile jaunt down the outer banks of North Carolina with zero problems (well, other than vapor lock but that wasn't an ignition issue ...)

Just sayin'

Congrats on the retirement -- hope to join you soon!
