Electronic ignition conversion tips

[Timsnewporttwin]

Im not sure what do at this point. I've got some homework for sure. Now leaning towards the Summit set up. Or maybe I'll just leave well enough alone. The cars been running 60 years on points. The information and user experience has been amazing. I'll have to let you all know what I ended up with.

Anyone besieged with pop up adds ? This is beyond annoying !!!

Points are good. Parts left out cost no money and cause no problems.

Hi Evetyone

I'd like to convert my 65 Newport to electronic ignition. Anyone out there who recommend what type system to get. Want to make conversion as discreet as possible. More reliable than retaining points I hear, better starting etc ?

Thanks
Tim

Get yourself the Pertronix unit and coil, jump out your ballast resistor. Discreet and reliable. Have three cars set up that way and have had no problems.

That's a good reason to stay with points.

The downside of points is that good condensers are getting harder to find.

I've noticed (not mine cars) a lot of the Mopars I've worked on are missing the engine to firewall ground wire and sometimes the ground wire from the negative battery terminal to radiator yoke. And these are the Mopars that have ignition and light problems. Hmmm...
