Re: {Chrysler 300} 1961 300 g tachometer question

agree,in fact nothing wrong with points,10k miles no bs ,curve in MSD will not match stock. Trouble with pertronics if it punts you walk. Maybe a long wolk. Points and business card you go.Points do not lose the  1 volt of solid state either. Power in EE goes as square of volts,you lose 144/169 , significantly weaker spark

Allan,

 

Do yourself a favor and keep the original tach drive distributor.  Install a Pertronix unit, easy to do, you will keep the original look and tach drive function of the stock distributor.  I’ve had one in my G since 2011, I’d never go back to points.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 1961 300 g tachometer question

 

Hi Everyone,

I decided to replace my dual point distributor with a MSD system.  My question is, since this new distributor does not have a drive for the tachometer cable, (it still lights up) is there a way to either hook up a drive or either convert this tach to electronic?

 

Thanks again for any insight you can provide.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!🍗
