71 distributor ??

I am new to site and jeeping. I recently bought a 71 CJ5 and can not get it to start. I have power to the points but not to the plug. I have on order the cap and wires. I want to change the points over to electric while I am at it but not sure what I need to do. I ordered a magnetic pickup from a company and it is not the right part from waht I can tell. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

there was a site www.rockauto mentioned recently that has a good list of parts for 225 most of the items have pictures to go along with the part

 

HEI dist from 75 to 77 231 odfire. One wire hook up. Use your search...plenty of writups on the subject.

 

used a '76 HEI on mine. (was cheaper than the conversion kit by $20). needed a 1" spacer to clear fan.

 

I have a 231 EF and converted to HEI about 2 months ago from points. After the HEI conversion it runs better than it ever has before. With help from this site is was pretty easy and very straight forward.

 

Thanks for the info so far. I think I may have found a solution as in using a distributor out of an 82 buick regal. Has same gear and shaft is same length. That is my goal for the weekend. I will update on how it goes.
