Re: Convert points to electic

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

They are easy as pie, even a caveman can do it!!  Basically you remove the
points and condenser and replace them with their module, slide their rotor
on, set the gap with the provided piece and reinstall the cap.  Do the basic
wire mods and start your car and forget about adjusting points ever again. 
MoPar B = 350, 361, 383, 400  MoPar RB = 413, 426W, 440.  When I did mine I
unwrapped the harness at the ballast resister and cut and connected the
wires running through it but left the ends plugged into the resister and
rewrapped the harness letting it look like stock.  This will feed 12 volts
to the ignition per the instructions.   Then I heat shrinked the two wires
that run from the distributor to the coil again giving it a stock single
wire appearance.  The Pertronix system is first class and almost
indistinguishable from stock unless you know what to look for.  I have been
judged two times and have never been asked if the ignition was other than
stock.

Subject: Convert points to electic
 
I didn't know whether this would help with my cold-starting problem (if
not started every day, it is like it sat for months), but I was thinking
of converting from points to electronic ignition.
 
Pertronix write ups say even an idiot (like me) can do this, but I'm
confused about the kits
 
I have a '62 Newport 361 2bbl, the kits availible from YearOne are
 
1. Pertronix Ignitor electronic ignition fits 1962-1973 Mopar V8 models
(except 440 models with the distributor # IBS4014, IBP4002Z, or any car
with a single or dual-point Prestolite distributor).
 
2.Pertronix Ignitor electronic ignitions fits 1959-1971 Mopar B and RB
V8 models with Prestolite dual-point ignition, vacuum advance, with or
without tachometer drive.
 
I have no idea what "Mopar B" means (b-bodies???) or can see a part
number on my distributor..
 
which one is correct for my car?... and can an idiot (me) do this?
