Re: [FWDLK] ignition conversion



Don,

I’ve had it done to my 318 – it runs like a champ.  Here’s some correspondence with Lou Cortese, where he outlines what needs to be done.

Dan:The Pertronix kit doesn't fit an Autolite distributor, the one with the with the oil cup on the side. I used a remanufactured unit from a NAPA store for 1960-1972 318 [LA block].Since I'm at work now and don't have a computer at home(yet),I'll have to email you tomorrow morning with the Pertronix part number. Don't forget, the Autolite cap and rotor are different so you'll have to get them too when you change distributors. I used an MSD "Blaster" coil but Pertronix also sells coils and perhaps they can point you in the right direction regarding coils.

 

Type at you tomorrow,

Lou Cortese

Dan I know the LA thing sounds weird but they interchange. Use Pertronix 1381A to convert these distributors.

Hi guys, once again I need your expertise. I am contemplating installing an ignition conversion kit on my '59 Belvedere 318. Has anyone out there done it? Are there downsides to doing this? I want to maintain the stock look of my distributor. I have found a product on the web called "Hot Spark" Anyone familiar with this product??  Thanx Don
