Re: {Chrysler 300} Kit for Electronic Ignition Conversion 1961 Chrysler 300G

Several years ago I bought the Pertronix Ignitor unit for my 1957 300C from Club member John Lazenby.  I separately bought the Pertronix 40 kV coil (painted black and with homemade lettering to duplicate the original), custom-made 7 mm RFI-suppressed resistor ignition wires (virtually mandated by Pertronix) and modern fine-wire NGK iridium resistor spark plugs.  I also filled in the backside of the factory ballast resistor to provide constant 12V to the distributor as required by Pertronix.  I am SO HAPPY to never have to deal with those cursed dual points buried against the firewall ever again!  And the car now starts within barely half a second after priming the carburetors!  I absolutely love it!   There is nothing to hide (it's all inside the distributor) and everything looks perfectly stock for the most persnickety concours judges!

You can hide the box under the rad support. See attached photo of my 61 Savoy with this setup.

Hi Friends,

I am looking for an electronic ignition conversion kit for a Chrysler 300G. My 64 300K has a kit that was purchased from Summit racing, part number PNX - 1382 which is no longer available. 

Summit recommends PerTronix 1385LS - PerTronix Ignitor Lobe Sensor Solid-State Igntion Systems. Anyone installed this on their car or know of any other kits available for this conversion?

Thanks,

Angad
