Can anyone give me any suggestion on where to find a electronic distributor for my 69 slant? find one at summit for like 398$ but was wondering if something else worked for it? I dont want points anymore

Do you want to just get rid of your points, or do you want to do an entire electronic conversion? You can put a Pertronix kit in your existing distributor, which will get rid of the points and ballast resistor. That's what I've been running for the last 5-6 years and it works well. I'm in the process of doing the HEI conversion right now, and I bought a re-manufactured Chrysler electronic distributor from RockAuto for $50 ($39.99 + $10 core charge). I ordered one for a 74 Plymouth, by A-1 CARDONE, part # 303690.

Any 73-mid 80s slant six powered car, truck, or van you can find in a boneyard will have the right distributor, just make sure it has a vacuum advance pod and only one electrical pigtail. Or, if you want a new one, you could try Old Car Parts Northwest (do a search on the site for contact info) or http://www.arizonaparts.com/

You could also post a want ad on the board. I'm sure someone has a spare laying around they would make you a good deal on.

I'm doing a complete electronic conversion while my engine is out. I have a complete wiring kit from a 73 donor which had electronic but the dis was destroyed from the guy before. I'm hopping up my motor a little bit thats why i was thinking a performance dis would be helpful.

The best performance distributor you can get is a stock unit with a advance recurve done by yourself. Order the distributor spring recurve kit sold by board member bigslant6fan and you can do the performance curve yourself.

Brand new Chrysler electronic distributors (better than "remanufactured" junk) from Old Car Parts Northwest. See HEI upgrade article.
