Electronic Ignition Conversion

[goodgod]

Any suggestions for a good kit for a 71 Satellite with a 318?

Well, i was going to suggest the mopar electronic ignition conversion kit but i just looked up the price and to hell with that. For a stock 318 i would find a u pull it junk yard and pick all the pieces needed including the connectors. Then wire it up. Not hard.

Or just throw a Pertronix in it!

There's no junkyards around here with anything near that old around here. Is there a Pertronix kit for all the components? I see a wide variety of prices on ebay

What??? No junkyards in NC with older cars in them? That I find hard to believe. I've been to quite a few yards in NC that have older cars. There was a huge one out near Greenville that had everything.

I put a pertronix ignitor in my 71 Charger with a 318. Painless install. Just read the instructions. If you use the stock coil keep the ballast resistor. If you use the pertronix hi volt coil bypass the ballast resistor.

I took the Mopar performance kit off my car and converted my original points distributor to the Pertronix Ignitor II,used their matching coil and the ballast resistor gets by passed,my car runs better than it ever has now

Thanks for the advice. I've been looking for a good place to get the kit from and I'll have to see if the Greenville place is still in business. Do you happen to remember the name of that junkyard?

Yes id say throw a Pertronix in there.I have used them on two different 383 cars and they went in simple and ran great and not expensive.
