And yes, the timing will need to be reset. While you are in the distributor, be a good time to check out the centrifugal advance, be sure it is free, the springs are good, the weight pivots are free and not worn beyond being able to work.
Also, the electronic kit manufacturers recommend resistor type plug wires. If yours are solid wire, or about time to replace them, be a good time to go ahead and put a new set on.

I don't know what would happen if it got the wrong voltage or reversed polarity, good chance it could fry it!
But, in spite of the cautions, with the quality of the aftermarket points and condensers available today, I would recommend you convert it to electronic. I have done several, had 100% success with all.
