My '64 dodge dart goes through points like crazy, no clue why. I was thinking about switching to an electronic ignition conversion kit. Has anyone had any success with this?? |

Going through points? Is a ballast resistor in the primary circuit? Now for the answer. Go with the electronic ignition. You might be able to get an aftermarket system or get one from a salvage yard. |

Is it the original distributor.........and does the shaft wobble around in the bushings? Yes, it would be wise to do the electronic conversion. I'm a cheapskate, so I would be scrounging the salvage yards for usable parts before getting an MP kit. Roger |

The capacitor prevents allot of arcing at the points and should be changed along with the points. I remember when I used to run points that a defective capacitor or two came with some cheeper tune up kits I bought. and of course 12v is for starting 6v is for running. A inexpensive volt /ohm meter its great for tracking down all sorts of problems. hope this helps. Bruce Johnson |
