Fwd: Re: [Chrysler300] alternative to Mopar Performance electronic distributor kit

[William Huff <whuff@xxxx>]

Hi Steve,

Just as a thought, the electronic distributors are available on eBay 
probably on a weekly basis if not more often. They often go for 
$20-$35. I have purchased a couple off of eBay and have not had a problem 
yet, the bushings were good and the pickup was too. Just clean, lubricate 
(adjust the centrifugal weight springs) a little and install.

Mother MOPAR has a kit that mates your car to the distributor. It is 
"Wiring Harness Kit, Kit to convert to electronic ignition system." Number 
is MOPP3690152, price $18.95. They also sell the electronic control 
module, normal duty. Number is MRE505, Regular price: $39.95 sale price: 
$24.95. I buy most of my new stuff from Mancini Racing, these are their on 
line pricing, over the phone is more. The only other thing you would need 
would possibly be an electronic voltage regulator. If you can locate the 
basic distributor for a reasonable price, the whole shooting match comes 
up to a lot less than the big $190 conversion kit. They also have a 
lighter centrifugal weight package for a little performance mod.

Good Luck,

Bill Huff
