Mancini sells an Electronic Ignition kit to convert my '67 383. Have 2 listed, one is a Prestolite, What is the difference? Mopar Performance or Presto? Street/Stock Cruiser not a Race Car.
Also I need the steel fuel line from the Stock fuel pump/fuel filter to the #1407 Eddy carb, anyone know the part number? The carb inlet is on the right side rearward corner. I have a rubber fuel line running from the filter to the carb and I dont like it.
Help if you can, Thanks 
The Mopar Performance kit drops rite in, keeps things stock..
On E-Bay is a brand new Mopar Electronic kit for a 383, but note it is the earlier version which is significantly better than the later ones..
This one has:
1. Distributor has Mallory internals which has adjustable advance settings
2. Orange ECU box is USA made not the Chinese junker
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Electronic...948&vxp=mtr
Just my $0.05...

Package arrived from Mancini this afternoon. I guess I'll take the wife out to dinner.........in the Satellite of course just as soon as I install the electronic ignition conversion kit.  Thanks honey! I know theres only two wires to connect but an instruction sheet would have been nice  Anyone know of the "correct" way to wire the kit? It did come with a new ballast resistor too.

I believe you run the 2 Pertronix wires to the respective coil primary (+) and (-) terminals and you use the ballast with your OE coil and dont use the ballast if going with a Pertronix coil either a (I) (II) or (III) Pertronix coil to match the respective (I) (II) (III) Pertronix kit that you have. Wired that way if using a ballast the voltage to the Pertronix would be reduced & not sure if that is a problem or not & if so it instead requires the P hot wire be run to switched 12V to bypass a ballast if a ballast is used. What are the ohms of your current coil/ballast and what is the ohms of the P ballast. I would call P & give them your coil ohms & see if they want you to use their ballast. EDIT found my ignitor I kit for a toyouta that I bought at a swap meet for $2. I see that with a ballast that you do run full 12V to the P

Robert, my wife purchased the Mopar kit from Mancini as a surprise ( sort of) birthday gift. I need to know the Mopar Performance kit wiring diagram, instructions didn't come with the kit. I know you probably have installed them before. Thanks, pros and cons of mounting ideas welcome too.  I may have the diagram in one of my old Chilton manuals in the garage, I'll try to find it the weekend.
