Distributor question
« on: April 04, 2009 - 11:38:49 AM »
Who makes a conversion kit to change a point’s style system over to breaker less system?

I see NAPA sales them but for $229.00……ouch!

This is for a stock 318 with single points.

Thanks

Get a 72 cuda 340 ignition box from a parts house. A 72 340 electronic rebuilt from a parts house, both under 80 bucks, then go look in your mopar performance book and order the 19 dollar harness kit and a 72 single ballast. hooks up in less than 1 hr and is a dependable system.  A 72 340 box is the best over the counter box there is and it is 72 only 340 only :2thumbs: It has no limiter built in.

Thanks Allen.

It's not like I don't like the point's system......but, breaker less systems are much more dependable
