Electronic Ignition

[Louie70Dart]

Anyone ever used or heard of this? From Jim's auto parts. Thanks! /http://www.jimsautoparts.com/mopar_performance_ignition.htm

I have a 1970 Dart with the 318 and points and condensor. Would like to get away from setting gap and dwell.

If you are looking to convert to electronic ignition here is the kit I installed a few weeks ago from Summit Racing:

It works very well and was easy to install.

Thanks, I like this one, pretty much the same as the one from Jim's just a little cheaper. What about the alternator? Will that have to be upgraded also to a higher amp model? Thanks.

jims sucks big time.

Why does Jim's suck? I'm not trying to argue, just want your opinion. I've never done business with the place....if enough people say it stinks, then they don't get my money. As simple as that! Thanks.

Well, you just saw one difference, price! The same parts for an extra $60+.

I remember about 8 years ago or so, many people in my club did not like Jims, I don't know the specifics or the reasons, and I have never bought anything from them so I have no personal experiences.
