Default Electronic Ignition

I'd like to ditch the points in my 68 327/300 SB. I want to maintain the stock look. Heard of electronic conversion kits that fit right into stock distributor. Can anyone recommend an electronic conversion kit and a good source (I'm in NE Florida)?

I've been using the Pertroics Ignitor for 6 years trouble free. I've heard good things about the new Crane XR-i unit. They're both around $70-$80 in the Summit catalog.

:iagree: Either one will work OK and get rid of the points.

If you ordered the Pertronix make sure you check the distributor for play. Here's a link to 4 reviews on the Pertronix. Read the one that I wrote and it will explain the installation. Good luck. https://www.corvetteforum.com/review...=221&TopicID=2
