Hi Allan,

Happy Thanksgiving! Are you have issues with your distributor being worn out? I would agree with everyone else it is really better to keep the dual point distributor. I had the distributor for my 56 B rebuilt by Jeff at Advanced Distributor and it made a BIG difference in how the car runs. He does a full check on the distributor, trues the shaft and even repaints it. It comes directly to you with dwell set, etc., ready to drop in. He just requires that you complete an intake sheet where you list compression on each cylinder and some specifics about your car:

Happy Thanksgiving

All best, 

-Heath

agree,in fact nothing wrong with points,10k miles no bs ,curve in MSD will not match stock. Trouble with pertronics if it punts you walk. Maybe a long wolk. Points and business card you go.Points do not lose the  1 volt of solid state either. Power in EE goes as square of volts,you lose 144/169 , significantly weaker spark

Allan,

 

Do yourself a favor and keep the original tach drive distributor.  Install a Pertronix unit, easy to do, you will keep the original look and tach drive function of the stock distributor.  I’ve had one in my G since 2011, I’d never go back to points.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 1961 300 g tachometer question

 

Hi Everyone,

I decided to replace my dual point distributor with a MSD system.  My question is, since this new distributor does not have a drive for the tachometer cable, (it still lights up) is there a way to either hook up a drive or either convert this tach to electronic?

 

Thanks again for any insight you can provide.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!🍗
