Im a Idiot / Help needed electronic ign

Sure, be glad to.

Longer burning hotter spark is more fuel efficient, burns the fuel more completely.
This gives more power, smoother idle, and cleaner exhaust, as well as better hot and cold starts.

The "less complicated" statement is the fact that there is WAY less wires to route, no ballast needed, and no 10 feet of module wire (4 or 5 wire module like the stock unit.)

I realize a lot of people have an issue with using a GM ignition, but they are known for thier power, reliability and ease of getting replacement parts if they are needed.
No matter how much a person disagrees with the facts they are still facts.
A stock early Mopar electronic ignition will never be as effective as HEI.
There is only personal preference oppinions.

Do you have any real data to back up these claims? The whole "longer burning hotter spark" sounds great, but compared to what? Do you personally have dyno results showing the gm module to make more power? How is the wiring simpler, when your gm module has 4 wires, also requires a external coil, and a magnetic pickup distributor? No ballast resistor? so what, thats a function of the coil used, not the ECM.. I am all for upgrading something that is poorly designed, but the mopar electronic system is proven to be reliable, and well performing.. I personally have cars that are running the original mopar ignition, ECU and all, from the 70s. You are gonna have a real hard time convincing me your GM system is better, when mine has been perfoming like clockwork for 30+ years.
