The installation of a civilian distributor is quite common on all the M-series vehicles such as the Dodge, the Jeeps, and the 2-1/2 ton. Not so much for the points or rotors, which are relatively common, but more-so for things like the 24 volt internal coils, the military distributor caps, and those expensive shielded spark plugs. Remember that before the days of the internet, you did not simply hit a buy it now button and your obscure parts were there a few days later....you had to send letters, or stay up until 2 in the morning to call some foreign country.
Easy enough to make right, once you find out if the motor is still good. There is plenty of the M135 stuff around...nobody really wants it anymore.
