I vote
for a PerTronix conversion. It fits right into the original distributor and
replaces the points. Not external modules. Then you get the original advance
curve and vacuum advance.

All
these conversions do not make a bigger spark, just a more reliable trigger of
the coil. If you want an improved spark for better starting and performance
applications, throw away your 6000 volt original 50 year old coil and put in a
modern 40,000 volt coil. PerTronix has one that looks stock and can operate
without the ballast resistor. The ballast resistor could be left in for
appearance and bypassed.

Subject: [FWDLK] dual points or
electronic?
"dual
points vs. electronic" distributor?
I
have read that some have not been happy with the mopar electronic conversion
kit, orange box ect, what is the real difference between single point, dual
point and electronic ignitions? In terms of starting freeway and city
driving??
I
have both and am about to install one and would like to hear what you guys
think....
My
old distributor is very worn and needs to be
replaced...
Just
for street use with a '57 301, 2bbl for now but am going to go to a 2X4 afb
(500 cfm each) set up with a hotter cam that Gary P set me up
with...
