distributor conversion
I have 71 with a mechanical drive for the tach, and single points. Can I get a conversion to transistor type of ignition? I would prefer to keep my own distributor, and just install conversion into distributor with maybe a module and coil change.
Thanks

There are few conversions availible for the stock tach drive distributor, I used the Mallory Unilite for several trouble free years. You can get them from Summit or Jegs etc.

I've been considering conversion myself. This site (under "Breakerless") has an option to consider. Good luck...

Re: distributor conversion (mixtli)
I installed two different petronix conversions and both failed. I went back to points set up properly and a good dist curve. I use the Mallory 102 points and set the dwell at 30 degrees. With the proper timing and the dist. set up correctly, it runs very well. I did could not tell any difference between the petronix or the points. I know that I can trust the points.
