Other ways include the Mopar electronic conversion and an HEI conversion. Check out the Slant Six Forums for some additional insight. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

No Pertronics for me. To many horror stories, and I drive my car long distances. I need cheap parts off the shelf in every state I visit. Either that buy 2 Pertronics, and test drive both.

Another vote for pertronix.Had mine on the dart /6 for two years..no problems at all.I used their recomended coil on my conversion also.If pertronix guidelines are followed,their stuff is pretty much problem free,D. 2015 Chrysler200s,2008 Charger R/T R&T,1999 Dakota R/T,1999 Viper ACR,1968 Charger R/T.
