    If there is no center, fifth wire on the distributor cap, then the coil is inside the distributor. If there is a fifth, 7 mm wire in the center of the cap, it will trace back to a single coil. Not sure when the 500 went to electronic ignition without going by serial number; but it was around 1967ish…..

    Long live American manufacturing!
