RE: IML: Points to Electronic conversion

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a few ways to go from points to electronic.  The "usual" way is 
the Direct Connection-now Mopar Performance kit.  It's easy to do and we did 
it a loooooong time ago (1973?) on my 'cuda which is still running the same 
box, distributor, etc. It's a little more expensive than some of the other 
routes, but you get a NEW distributor.  Other options include piecing a kit 
together from junkyard parts-cheap, but you don't know what you're getting 
and Pertronix. I've never used the Pertronix kit, but I know people that 
swear by them.
