So… in 2025, what’s the best electronic ignition conversion?

Thanks! I don’t have an Amazon account but know a few that do. I’ll have to check on the distributor… $427 at Summit.

The ignitor ii goes right in a factory dist and is like $160....

cost of aftermarket distributors is out of control. Been using factory type magnetic pickup and re-curve them, then a CD ignition box.
Lately been converting to EFI, locking out factory type and re-phasing the reluctor or using the lean burn distributor, the EFI controls the advance and triggers a CD ignition box.

I’ll probably go for a new distributor as it’s the original and the car has 120,000 miles on it. I will shop around though. Thanks!

The coolest thing about the Pertronix units is that they look relatively stock.

 

[Darter6]

Yep,Other than the sticker on the coil you would think just a points distributor .

 

[boboh1]

Pertronix in my car plus their coil. Must bypass the ballast resistor. Been using them over the years and never had any problems.

Pertronix is the way to go.Put it in my 66 big block Dodge, when I had it. Works great easy install,very reasonable price.

What’s the newest? What are you guys using recently?

I’ve done a few 70’s type external 5 pin (4 on the later) conversions. And while they work good, it’s a lot of wiring and installation work. Are the HEI kits any good? Thanks!

I've used the Pertronics kits on my 68 426 Hemi and on my current 67 Satellite 383. Easy to install, and looks fairly stock. To keep the original look, I soldered a wire into the back of the firewall resistor, so you can leave it where it is. It's not required on the Pertronics system. Some models of the Pertronics kits also have a built in rev limiter.
