Hi Chris,
The IML has gone through a number of threads concerning electronic ignitions
and all its pros and cons. We have most of that discussion posted on the
website:
http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Electrical/ignition.htm
My brother-in-law just installed the kit from Mopar Performance (
http://www.moparperformance.com ) on his '65 convertible and he is VERY
happy!!
Let us know what you decide to do with your '65! Good luck with whatever
you decide to do.
Best Regards,
Chris Trettin
