Pissed off with motor, want to change

Well yeah but it can be your back up dist and dwell can be set roughly with a feeler gauge.

Electronic ignition is easy but isn't cheap. He could spend $200 on a nice msd dist and then he needs different style plug wires and a $200 msd box to fire it. That's $500--just to see if its in the ignition system and where he lives winter will soon be knocking on the door

If money was an issue, I wouldn't have bought a Mopar! :-) Seriously, I am ready to drop a shitload of money on a 408 stroker and all the extra crap I need. I have a guy who rebuilds distributors and I would send mine to him if I thought that was the issue. I have points in my Truimph, and I can tell you that yes, they are easy, but the extra voltage at the plug alone is worth going electronic.
