Re: Dual Point or Elect Ign?

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Younglings?  who you calling a Youngling???  LOL  I've had lots of point based cars.  If It were a car show, once in a blue moon driver, points are fine, set em and forget em, last for years in a car that doesn't move much.  But I'll drive it all the time.  15-20k a year, that's a couple of adjustment per year, setting  the dwell, timing and all that, and I just don't have the time or energy anymore.  Tuning up my Windstar once every 100k is nice feature.  Tuneing up my friends Aveo every 30k I've found it annoying.  I know the plugs in my Chrysler will not last like the Windstar, but they should do as good as the Aveo.

The reason I use Pertronix is I don't have to play were do I hide the box it just looks out of place on a nice pre 70s MoPar.  But if your not concerned about looking original whom cares!  The only problem with a dual point is maintaining the points, electronic install them and forget them.  Point maintenance is nothing for us old guys, but seem to be a issue for younglings'.  (-;

The first thing I always do when I get a new B block MOPAR is to install MOPAR electronic ignition. Simple job and I've never had a problem over the years. Just go to your friendly Dodge or Chrysler dealer parts department. I've never used Petronix so I can't comment. Actually I never had a problem with dual point distributors, but they're definitely more work to maintain.
