Re: IML: Ignition Help

["Mark Jefferson" <imperialist67@xxxxxxxxx>]

When putting my '67 LeBaron "back on the road" in '96 I switched over to electronic ignition. It DOES make for more reliable starting, less frequent tune-ups, etc., and it has been generally a real smart upgrade. 

However.......... be forewarned that when the unit goes, it just goes/shuts off, and the car isn't going ANYWHERE until you put a new one in. When you have a car with these, have an extra in the car, and teach yourself to install a new one just in case. It's pretty easy to do, a matter of a couple plugs and you're back in business. 

Or just do as I do, and have a new one installed every 2-3 years, and it minimizes the risk. 

MoparPerformance is a good source for these, but there are others out there.
