Electronic ignition for Slant 6

I would not be afraid to run Pertronix, and plenty of guys on this board run them. My little Farmall 100 (Super A) had one when I bought it, and it's never missed a beat.

I would run a Mopar dist with a GM HEI conversion. There are plenty of threads on this, here, as well as a write-up over at slantsix.org
