What kind of electronic ignition for 318
« on: July 02, 2008 - 01:11:09 AM »


Hi guys  :wave:

I am in the ending of my projekt, and almost ready to fire the engine up.

But I will hear you guys:

I got me a mopar performance electronic ignition "MSD Unit" But what will be the best to hook up that or the Mopar orange box electronic ignition . I like the orange box because its looks original and my wiring hooks easy up with it.

Can you guys school me 

Thanks Guys

I am not a big fan of the MSD , it costs too much & is an old design so generally I use the Mopar system ,however the new orange boxes seem to fail a lot so i upgrade to the chrome box most of the time

the MSD dist will work fine with the orange box as long as you can connect the plug to the dist

MP ignition is a great set-up.

Got any side pics of your car.  What are the tire/rim specs?
