Location: McComb, Mississippi | After much thought, I've decided to go with a cheap and reliable electronic ignition conversion for my 413. I'm either going to buy all the necessary parts to swap over to a mopar electronic ignition. I'm not buying a kit. I'm going to buy all the parts over the counter. Route number two would involve using a hei module with bracket that mounts it under the distributor. I would also go with a E core style coil and eliminate the ballist resistor. What are your experiences with these conversions? Reliability is my main concern.

| My opinion is do it. you wont regret it. Use over the counter parts. GM HEI is a great choice for availability and reliability. Its just better all around than a points system. With all the gm cars using hei I don't ever hear much bad mouthing hei systems, Its tried and true and isn't going anywhere any time soon. Chrysler stuff is a little more hit and miss depending on the source if you need replacement parts. Everyone has GM hei parts. |

Location: Netherlands | Simplifying the ignition system, by using less parts, can be one step closer to reliability.
I've just installed a 4pin HEI-module and e-core coil on my engine stand. Along with a regular stock electronic distributor and a full 12v source, this thing throws sparks like crazy when the dsitributor is spun by hand outside the engine.
Throw a spare HEI-module in the trunk for extra backup 'reliability'. |

Location: central Illinois | I put a Mopar system from Indy on a 70 300 I had. It worked great as that was the first points system I encountered that I couldn't get right. Both my R/T and my Desoto run points.
If you're looking at wiring harnesses for the Mopar electronic system the part number is P3690152
