Electronic ignition ?

TCStang · January 30th, 2012, 06:53 PM

What the most affordable way to switch to electronic ignition? What all parts do I need? This is for a 68 coupe with a 302.

A Petronix module directly replaces the points, and doesn't need any kind of box or anything. They even have one with a rev limiter in it now.

I've used the regular ignitor before, and it worked flawlessly. I've heard that the II and III work just as well. Here you can see the different things that each do.

Ignitor
Ignitor II
Ignitor III

Thanks and reps

No problem. Unless you've got a pretty powerful build, I think you'll be happy with the Petronix stuff. I'm sure you can google it, and find reviews.

Installed the ignitor II and huge difference. Thanks everyone.
