Electronic Distributor ?

[greggeo]

Is anyone aware of Conversion Kits for the Distributor for change over to the Electronic or the Entire Distributor replacement?
Thanks In Advance.

Pertronix for distributor only or you can go with the Mopar Performance kit that has wiring. Thats what I did and you can keep the single wire alt.

I went with a Pertronix, since the '71 already had the electronic voltage regulator. Since it needs full voltage to the distributor, I gutted a ballast resistor and put a 12 gauge wire in the back of it, so with the hood open and air cleaner on it looks stock.

With all types of electronic setups besides the Pertronix you will have to swap the distributor.
If you have a small block you can get an Electronic distributor at Advanced Auto or Rock Auto for about $40 with a lifetime warranty and use a factory type Mopar electronic ignition module. I found a MSD 6A for about $35 on Craigslist locally and my setup is a budget setup but works far better than the points system.
There are also a number of ways to do electronic with a GM HEI module also. It really depends on your budget and if you like one system better than the other.
If you have a U-Pull junkyard in your area you can get the entire setup for less than $50 from the proper car or truck.

I've been real happy with the pertronix swap in my '61 slant six. Kept the stock coil and ballist resistor as they were new before the swap, as well as a remanuf. dist.... Chris.
