Re: distributors for 318 poly engine

["Ollie" <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just "been there" on this same issue with my LA318 street rod. The 
magnetic pick-up coil distributors are very simple. Don't see much of an 
advantage in new vs rebuilt and  I don't know see how a "performance" 
distributor could be much better. I ended up with a rebuilt distributor from 
Autozone. O'Riely's and Advance all have the same part number and same 
supplier.  I also think you would need to change your coil. In my particular 
situation I ran into some serious problems trying  to use the Mopar Ignition 
module. I had some residual power (,1 volt) on the "start" circuit. As a 
result it would not run. After consulting with my local Mopar buddies the 
only "fix" we could come up with was wiring a relay in the start circuit or 
go with a different ignition module. I went with a MSD module. Anyway, your 
local parts store has everything you need. If you decide to go the magnetic 
pick up coil route, I have all the part numbers and wiring diagrams if 
interested.

Thanks for the advice. One question: Are there any new "points"
distributors still sold for the small block?
