Re: [FWDLK] dual points or electronic?

I vote for a PerTronix conversion. It fits right into the original distributor and replaces the points. Not external modules. Then you get the original advance curve and vacuum advance.

All these conversions do not make a bigger spark, just a more reliable trigger of the coil. If you want an improved spark for better starting and performance applications, throw away your 6000 volt original 50 year old coil and put in a modern 40,000 volt coil. PerTronix has one that looks stock and can operate without the ballast resistor. The ballast resistor could be left in for appearance and bypassed.

"dual points vs. electronic" distributor?

I have read that some have not been happy with the mopar electronic conversion kit, orange box ect, what is the real difference between single point, dual point and electronic ignitions? In terms of starting freeway and city driving??

I have both and am about to install one and would like to hear what you guys think....

My old distributor is very worn and needs to be replaced...

Just for street use with a '57 301, 2bbl for now but am going to go to a 2X4 afb (500 cfm each) set up with a hotter cam that Gary P set me up with...
