Mancini Racing - Slant 6 Ignition Kit

or you can piece meal together the kit thru used parts and some creative wiring.

some swear by the HEI style conversion which you can find here:

Dumb question, what's the advantage of Mancini's kit over a Pertronix unit?

I didn't know Pertronix made a kit.

@halifaxhops
Can send you a good (great) dizzy and wiring to hook you up, he builds them to spec for everyone, I have had him build and set/tune two for me.

i didn't know pertronix made a kit either.

anyway, for me the ability to walk into just about any parts store and get replacement parts is a key deciding factor.

This is the Pertronix unit I have in my '65:
PerTronix 91361A Ignitor® II Chrysler 6 cyl Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit

I also bought the recommended Pertronix coil and by passed the ballast resistor with a ~10 awg wire hidden behind the ceramic housing.

Rick Ehrenberg sells the whole kit on ebay if you want it all in one place.

I can put together whatever you want really Mopar oem, HEI, Petronixs with the right curve for the engine.

the pentronix kit uses a piece of semiconductor which allows the coil to switch on when no magnet is near it and the coil to switch off when a magnet is near it
the plastic collar you push over the armature in the dizzy is just a holder for 6 or 8 very small magnets

if it falls apart you have a bit of a mountain to climb to get all the little magnets back in and back in the right way round.

i.e its a Hall effect switch which replaces your Points type switch...
no real benefit other than not having to set points.

if you leave the igntion switched on and the car stalled your bit of semi conductor doesn't like it, and can burn out.

I will never buy another


The mancini kit is based on the orginal mopar set up

you get a magnetic trigger in the Dizzy. these don't burn out if you leave the igntion swicthed on

and an ornage box which may or may not be good value for money...

i suspect it would be fine

Low resistance 8 volt coil run at 10-12 volts when starting and 8-9 volts when running due to the use of a ballast resistor.

worked on millions of mopars for millions of miles

I saw that one but what do you think about the nylon gear?

The same as all the rest. That's all Chrysler ever used.
