I would hope that at 82 you'd have more than a 27 year old Bob.

I may be biased, but considering the 27 year old isn’t pretending he’s better then someone because of his bank account, because he knows it’s not going to mean a thing when it’s time to go, he might have “more”

Yep. It doesn't belong in this conversation.

Delete what needs to be deleted. Put whoever needs to be in timeout in the corner.

Back to ignition. Sadly we live in a world plagued with quality control issues. Points, HEI, Chrysler electronic, it doesn’t matter, it’s going to fail at some point. The best thing to do is find a company with good customer service, that’ll admit they sold a faulty product and help you solve the issue. It doesn’t hurt to carry a few spare parts too

I’m lucky. My GTX was restored with factory ignition parts. I also carry spares I bought from Halifaxhops.

I wish the red x was still available. I’m guessing you also think bias ply tires are still the cats meow? Are you typing this using a telegraph? Do you even have a starter on your car, or do you use the hand crank still?

Why the negative reply to a fellow club member? I would bet you couldn’t tell the difference starting or driving a car with electronic or a points ignition without popping the hood.

I’ve had luck out of Mancinis so far

There you go, positive input.

I run bias ply tires on all my cars .

Funny I’ve put a couple of positive inputs here, and I still don’t see any from you

I've run bias ply and radials, points and electronic ignitions. My current GTX was a test mule of sorts, having been a Plymouth dealer's personal car for 15 years, during which time he made a few changes from factory stock. During that time, he stayed with the original points ignition. However, he changed out the factory cam for a milder grind for trailer towing, and went to radial tires in 1972. Car was fitted with 1968 style magnum 500s, dealer installed, he didn't want '69 style with trim rings. I know from personal experience that trim rings had a tendency to bend valve stems on daily driven Mopars, as did full wheel covers.

So, this GTX was set up by an expert back in the day, to be an optimum daily driver. I think the points vs. electronic debate clouds the fact that with the quality parts that were originally available through Chrysler, both systems were reliable in daily use, and Bill Clark never saw a need to modify the ignition components in my car. I did, however, put it back to bias plies, trying to recreate the memory of what it looked like the day I first drove it.

I feel like I posted this before, but:

I bought a Mopar Performance B block electronic conversion kit around 2001 for my 71 Fury Custom Suburban. It was stock, points 383 2bbl. As soon as the key was turned to "on" the box had an oscillation - a constant arc from the coil secondary to the primary terminal. Swapping coils netted no change. Coil ohm reading was normal. Swapped to a stock black box from a 70's parts car and it ran like that for 10 years till I sold it. I still miss that car.

 

[Big bill]

I run both systems on cars and they both work great.

Yep. It doesn't belong in this conversation.

I've successfully resigned and built ignition systems (liquid and gaseous fuels) for both industrial and automotive applications....so that qualifies me.....

But the "checkbook balance" comment isn't called for. That in itself caused the issue. Take a deep breath and blow some air out of your puffed out chest. You appear to be a smart fellow, act like it. We were having a good conversation here until your comment. Are we done yet? (rhetorical question)

 

[RemCharger]

I've put ignitors In furnaces too!! ( different kinds even!)

 

[toolmanmike]

For a simple street car I like the Pertronix. The base unit without bells and whistles. I have used one in my Swinger for many years now without issues. It's a great replacement for points and condenser.

 

[eldubb440]

who uses a checkbook in 2024? ....... I think they are all bias ply
