After sniffing around a bit, looks like/wondering if I might have a mopar electronic conversion distributor in my car....
If so, I can just buy the orange box somewhere and the wiring and I should be set, right?
Looks like a factory electric distributor to me.
Chrome boxes have a higher RPM range but no other real advantages; not worth the money on a stock-ish motor. A hotter spark than you need is really just a waste of money.
Does the red MSD Blaster 2 Coil fit OK in a stock Mopar coil bracket? I was comparing it to the Mopar Blaster coil on summit's site & I see the Mopar coil is over 1/4" larger in diameter.
If its the Red Blaster 2 its oil filled and MSD recomends that it be mounted vertically. The stock location is on the intake on the rear passenger side and that location mounts it horizontal.
Lots of folks have mounted them in the stock location and had no issues but now you can make an informed decision.
