Are you still using the original alternater?  You need to up grade to a higher amperage unit. The MP distributer need more current to operate.

Subject: new electronic distributor problems


Installed the Mopar Performance electronic ignition conversion kit with 
MP high-voltage coil in my 64 Dodge Polara 383 engine. Works fine, but 
when there is a power draw such as lights and/or AC running, the car 
stalls when the car is idling in drive. This is not due to low idle, but 
it seems to be an electrical problem. I know the new coil puts out a lot 
more voltage--is there some adjustment I need to make? The voltage 
regular is the original--would a new one make a difference? Seems like 
it's not sending enough voltage through to feed the ignition system. 

Also, perhaps an unrelated problem. Shortly after install, I had 
problems starting the vehicle--won't turn over, seems like a neutral 
safety switch issue. Any connection, you think?
