joshb1983 said

i have a 1970 belvedere with the stock 318 in it, previous owner added a bigger cam and iv added a new elderbrock 4 bbl intake and carb..the one thing iv been wanting to change is the original points system to a electronic system..iv never done a swap like this before and was looking for some info and advice on the best way to do it..what all do i need to swap out, and what would be the best setup to put on it, or what would be a good vehicle to take all the parts from..any help is appreciated, thanks for reading

My vote is for a stock chrysler electronic dizzy w vacuum advance, and a GM HEI module with a GM HEI stand alone coil 92 up GM pickup truck. This uses the mopar dizzy as the trigger, and the GM HEI setup wired into it is a cheap multi spark discharge setup.

I dont think the mopar ignition boxes are that good. The GM module / chrysler distributer setup.should wake up your car in terms of pep and mpgs on the cheap. Slanty 6 guys are doing this conversion.

Check youtube for this setup. Theres a vid of a black dart w red bumblebee stripe where the guy is showing off his conversion. Car sounds nice.
