Default Re: electronic igntion choice

In my opinion, I'd avoid the Pertronix and similar products. While some have had no problems, we've had our share, and we unfortunately aren't alone.

The easiest way out will be to put an MSD box on it somewhere (hide it!!) and your points then become only a trigger device, leaving the MSD system to provide the fire...this is definitely a step up, and pretty straight forward. A step up from that is to use an MSD (or oem Chrysler) pickup in your distributor which will trigger your MSD unit...a little more involved, but will last forever and a day. Dave's HEI out in Cali offers this type of conversion, but it's not too terribly difficult to make one for yourself...
