just rebuilt runs bad

.i think electronic is the best choice because its plug and play without all the points and bs ,but thats just me

'S where we part company. A mechanical/ no vacuum points distributor is the absolute simplest system you can get. Gasoline engines of all forms used breaker points for at least 70 years. Those of us who are old enough but thousands and thousands of miles on a breakerpoint distributor.

I've been involved with PLENTY of people on this board who've had trouble getting a stock Mopar ECU system to run.

I agree, mostly, with the rest of your thinking.
