Most 1st gens use electronic igniton. The '81-'85 all use the same electronic ignition. The '80 is electronic, but a little different. The '79 model used points. And, yes, the 1st gen distributor will drop in where the 2nd gen CAS goes. You just then need to wire up the coils. The stock 1st gen coils are a bit different than the 2nd gens. There a couple ways to use your 2nd gen coils with the 1st gen distributor, if you want. I imagine you are going carb (or fuel only ECU) and this is the reason you want to use the 1st gen ignition. Good luck.
