440 electronic distributor

[brads70]

I'm still running a points distributor. It's out at the moment and a good time to replace it. Anyone have one they are not using?

I went to the parts house and bought a 72 new yorker rebuilt for 40 bucks. it was ready to go. Works perfect in my car and came with the vaccum advance

What "part house" Alan? Do you mean any local jobber?

[Moparal]

Most any, but mine came from car quest

OK Thanks I'll look into that! A few weeks ago I bought a compleate 400 with an electronic distributor. Found out it won't work quick! LOL

I'm sort of "green" with Mopar distributors. Whats you opinions on these? I have used MSD stuff before and had good luck with them but the price ! I don't have the budjet for that at this time. The first 2 what about them? Almost to good to be true?

TrippleGreen tried the 1st one in his 318 & it never ran...Second one is the same brand, ProComp as I posted at almost 2X the price except it includes a coil....Both would require new plug wires or changing yours to the GM style.

Thanks Bullitt! I bought new MSD wires and that sure would suck if I couldn't use them!
Any other options up your sleeve? I'd like to use the wires I have.
I haven't looked into a rebuilt from a local jobber like Alan suggested yet but I will.
Thanks Brad

    1st off the rebuilt $40. distributor will require a core to return or pay a core charge + you will need a ECU another $30. + wiring & balast resistor another $20....
   
 The post I made from Mancini is a ready-to-run unit for $89 no other new stuff needed.

 Here is an OK deal on a complete OE-style conversion

I should have said that I'm going to be using a Mopar MSD box -6AL so I don't need the box or balast resistor either I don't think?
