Re: 383 distributor

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis and Gary, No it is not a Pertronics or similar change-over, It is the 
stock Mopar electronic Dist and the Mopar orange  box with a MSD coil. 
Dodger and I talked on the phone today, and after telling him all the things 
I tryed and the symptoms, We both agreed it is in the stock elec. 
distributor.  The former owner said the way he got it to start was by 
manipulating the distr. while useing a remote starter button.  Thanks for 
your input.......................MO

Hello,

Just a thought, I had similar problems with a new Pertronics electronic
ignition system.

I just got a cheap point distributor from one of the local auto parts
stores. I ended up changing back and forth several times trouble
shooting my problem. After a time or two it gets quick and easy to swap
systems.

It turned out that the Pertronics was the problem, they repaired it
under warranty. I now keep the stock point distributor, coil and
ballast resistor in a box in the trunk along with tools and a timing
light. Not necessary around town but a nice feeling to have it there on
a road trip.

Just a note, the electronic ignition was not stock on the car, it may
not be connected properly or the parts might not match. As far as the
electrical connections one critical connection is the grounding of the
ignition box. Double check that it is grounded well and if any doubt
run an additional ground wire from one of the mounting screws directly
to the neg. battery terminal for testing.

Good Luck
Dennis C.
