According to the AMC parts book the Prestolite Distributors (electronic) started in 1975.  Looks like 1978 started the Motorcraft.  Points kits were still available for both 6 & 8 through 1974.  Interesting enough though is a contact set listed for 1977 & up 4 cylinder.

Hmmm, that's interesting. All the 74"s and some of th 73"s I have seen here on the east coast had the motorcraft electronic ignition. I always figured AMC changed over mid yr 73.

Hi Davis, I think AMC had ignition points well past 1973; as the photo is off my 1 owner low miler 74 Hornet Sportabout and it is points as I had to set them. I also have 2 1974 AMXs and a 74 Javelin all points distributors one has to set dwell.

Eddie, great pic, unfortunately it doesn't help him. AMC had electronic ignition in 1974. That sticker just shows spark plug gap as no points after 1973.

Here is a photo of the original AMC decal on my Sportabout with ignition point settings and more.
