Electronic ignition
Curious if you chose one of the electronic ignition upgrades....if so, which one, how was the installation, is it worth the work & cost, also what year do you own?

I installed the SE Breakerless ignition on a 72 and on my 60. Super simple, remove points and condensor. bolt in module where points were, attach black wire from coil, attach "vanes" under rotor cap and reinstall. Put cap on, check timing. All done. Never have to worry about dwell, points wear, condenser failure, or distributor lobe wear again. It also eliminates the problem of shorting 12v to ground if you leave the ignition in the run position without engine running (if points happen to be closed). You can't tell it from stock with the distributor cap on, and no added or removed wires.

That's a seven year old thread. You'll probably get more interest if you start a new one.

Too bad because the Ignitor III rev limiter is a nice touch...

We sell the BreakerLess kit from M&H, and I've sent many a kit out the door, as well as using them personally, and have yet to hear a negative word about one. Nice thing, it's a one wire operation that keeps a 100% stock look, with no extra wires needed other than the factory points wire. Literally as easy as it could possibly be to install.
If you're going the route of sticking with the stock look, It's what I'd reccomend. Added bonus, it qualifies for free shipping right now as well!
