Re: [Chrysler300] 300D Distributor

[Tony Rinaldi <awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

HI to all,

We never could get my ³F² running right with the original Pertronix. They
now have a Pertronix II? Kept dual points and did a MSD 6 capacitive
discharge box and timing control.

Have ordered a replacement Mallory Unilite breakerless electronic
distributor with mechanical tach #3857801 Series 38, 46 recommended by a
knowledgeable Mopar restorer (Tom White) which is completely electronic.
This looks stock. Just have to paint the red cap black. Fully adjustable
mechanical advance. Will fake vacuum feed to look stock.

This is for 1959 and up for 413, 426, and 440 RB and hemi.

Mallory¹s specs show a 1957-58 for a 392 hemi with a stock # 3733701 Series
37, 45 Unilite Electronic Ignition with no mechanical tach connection. Don¹t
know enough about ³C¹s² and ³D¹s² to know if they used mechanical tachs.
They also show a Series 50 Magnetic Breakerless Ignition with a part #
5033701.

That¹s it. Limit of my knowledge so far.

Anyone have any first hand knowledge about this distributor replacement?

Once installed, will let everyone know how it works out.

Tony

Hi  Stan,
 
If you have a good distributor, other than normal wear, replace the
internal 
bushings, (do-it-yourself or have any automotive machine shop do it for
you) 
then purchase and install the Pertronix ignition kit from club member John
Lazenby (sorry, don't have his e-mail address handy, but in the club
roster).  
Identify yourself as a Chrysler 300 club member for discount when you
contact  
him.
 
I did the installation in my 300-C conv. Instant easy starting, more power
and economy. And now for the best part!  The unit fits inside the
distributor, 
replaces the points and never wears, as there is no friction, and I  will
NEVER have to crawl under the heater cowl to remove the distributor  again!
