I would have to say 'NO' right off hand, although the way AMC/Jeep went dumpster diving for parts through those years, who knows!
'77 Wagoneer should have the 'BID' or 'Breakerless Ignition Distributor' which is a Prestolite unit.
(means NO breaker points in the distributor)
Have a look at your distirbutor, if it has a PLASTIC VACUUM ADVANCE, you have a Prestolite ignition, and there is no 'Upgrades' for you right now unless you want to convert the distributor and module over to something we can work with... (About $100 worth of off the shelf parts)
----------------------
HOWEVER,
If you have a METAL vacuum advance, you have the 'SSI' system (Solid State Ignition) made by Motorcraft/Ford for AMC/Jeep, and we can work with that!
There is a very common upgrade for it using off the shelf parts!
