Thanks - I'll look into the Pertronix set up, and see if there's a good way to hide the extra wire. Sounds like there are benefits worth pursuing.
Cheers,

Wonder if there's a way to ground one wire inside the distributor so only one shows. I suppose it wouldn't be too bad to have two wires; I could shrink-tube them together to disguise them, I guess. Will this work with an OEM coil? One more question; you have links to two versions. Other than the $40 price difference, what's the difference between them. I'm assuming that for an otherwise stock set-up, the "cheap" one would work fine. No big deal to pop for the higher-priced one if there's a real benefit.
Thanks!

I have a question - why do so many people want to "hide" their electronic ignition sytems?
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

Red wire is your power, Ground wire goes to your coil. I don't know of any single wire electronic setups, as you need one wire to power the trigger inside, and another to drop the field inside the coil.
If the car is just going to be a cruise night car, or just a few thousand miles a year, then leaving it points isn't a bad option. I know of one 68 Charger R/T will start on the first crank everytime, and he hasn't touched the points in over 20yrs. And there's another daily driver Red 67 R/T on here that runs points.
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.
