Learn me on electronic ignition

The Pertronics igniter replaces the points and may be the easiest to install. The only drawback is it being aftermarket and not redily available at your local parts house if it should fail. The OEM stuff from a later model worked just fine. I would suggest going to a parts yard and get the components, connectors , etc... Just a little help with the wiring changes and happy moparing.

For $216.00 you can get the complete Mopar Performance electronic ignition kit from Mancini or somewhere of the like. It comes with the distributor, the ECU box, new ballast resistor and the wiring harness. It has nice detailed instructions which make it a snap to install. It's a one wire splice into the harness and a plug in at the distributor. Can't get much easier than that. Couple this with the changover to the dual field alternator and new style voltage regulator and you've got electronic ignition and amps to spare to run it all. The alternator switchover is easy as pie also, just splice the connector for the later voltage regulator clipped off a car at the boneyard) right where the old one was, same color wires even. Then add the second field wire from the alternator to the blue wire at the regulator and you're done. Good luck with your project, you'll welcome the change to modern electronics. Geof
 
The Pertronix igniter is by far the simplest setup. Pull the dizzy, check out and lube the advance weights, check the vac advance can for leak and proper action, clean it up and replace the nylon gear with a steel one.
Drive and enjoy your leaning tower of power:cheers:
