Whats a good setup to replace my dual point with electronic in my perf engine ?

MSD Pro Billet hands down . Use the 7AL for race , or 6 AL for street / mild race.
IMHO

For a performance street car a MP electronic conversion kit and an MSD blaster coil is all you need. Big block small block??
Year of car?

points to electronic

Std. Mopar. Parts are as close as your corner parts store.

Petronix makes some really good products. I have used them several times. Not in recent years though. Pretty stealth if you want it to look stock.

Thanks, I have read on these Items, just wondered about, MP parts, I see, orange, black, & chrome boxes, possibly making more or less available rpm limits, I thought my dual point, and Mopar perf coil would do the job, except I have been told it's probably going south about 4000 rpm, in the early 70's this seemed to work just fine. I do like msd, but really only need 7000 limit, and have just about spent all my $$$ on this 426 hemi already.

Well since you went HEMI get a 6 AL and blaster coil the rev limiter is worth the extra few bucks!

MP electronic with orange box. If your reving that motor over 6000 your wasting your time and motor. Hemi's are torq monsters. They make there power down low. If it were a 340 i'd say rev the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]. You don't need a million dollar ignition on a street motor unless your looking for bragging right's.

I switched from factory dual point to Pertronix in my 64 mw, ran great and easy install. A few years later I "upgraded" to MSD 6Al and saw no difference in ET the only benefit was the rev limiter. I go with the Pertronix if you like the factory look.

Well Doug, my comp cam is good from 2500 to 6500, so that's where my concern of up over 6 comes from. Not looking for bragging rights, just want great spark at 6500 for sure.
If I go MSD the box will be under the dash, not in the engine comp, still hard to believe my dual point, & hot coil will not do the trick, but it appears everyone goes electronic. I really don't like the vacumm advance pod on the newer elect dist, course I think I can remove it ? and go all mech ? any suggestions on this ?

Yes get a MSD with no vacuum advance on a MP weld the plates together and you can remove the vacuum advance and make a little cover for the hole

Well Dodgem, I like the stock look, and with the MP dist, I keep the cap for my wires, otherwise the new MSD = new wires, and I have read where the blaster should be mounted up right vs horiz.
I think if I go MP I'll get the chrome box, I think that kit from Manz is about 220, then another coil.
thanks
However I think MSD is the way to go.....

Dam glad you told me my MSD (blaster 2 I think???) is mounted horizontal for 15 + years and does not break down at 8000 rpm. I'm leaving it I don't like change!

Well with were you are going 6000 to 6500 probably mostly cruising why not MP. I still not fussy on vacuum advance. I once cut the arm off welded the plates together and left pot on heck you could block the vacuum line and put it on ported vacuum of carb so it looks stock!

My Blaster 2 is horizontal

why can't you run vac advance?

Tribute, you need stock dual point like mine. Check it out.

And this with cap on.

Tom you converted an OE prestolite dual point unit to OE electronic

Hey gang !
I have a stock dual point now, w/tach drive, which I would rather convert vs buy something new, but all I have seen is single points dist conversions, so maybe for both , just change the plate & shaft ?
and Dodgem,,,my 770's have no vac port anyway, this is the main reason I do not / cannot have a vac adv, no where to hook it up, without going into the manifold or custom fitting into a carb.

RRobert, actually a friend of mine did it. I am not that talented.
68, you want his name to see if he can convert yours so you can use your tach drive still?

Thanks, but no, I think once I see the parts, it would be no problem to do, thanks.
Probably should throw my dually into a box with the coil, & wires to put back on once it's for sale for originallty,,,, but that's wayyyy down the road,
thanks everybody here for the help.
