Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit from Jegs. Questions..

Lots of info there to digest, cap! Since you have the kit in hand I would say use it. There must be thousands of MOPARS running around with those components. One thing that I noticed in the JEGS description is that it features a "high performance" distributor curve. This means that the mechanical advance comes in more quickly than the stock units. For a daily driver/cruiser you probably want the standard advance curve.

Yes there are newer systems available and they're quite possibly better than the 40+year old technology you bought.
Personally, I don't want to put GM parts in my MOPARS. (Ford parts either!) Just my personal preference, many contributors here disagree. Since it's my car and my money, they're MY choices.
