Jegs Electronic Conversion Kit - 08/07/11 03:30 PM
Hey Guys has anyone used Jegs small block Electronic Conversion Kit. I want to change from pionts to electronic ignition. The Mopar kits are $225 and the Jegs are $150. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with them?
Thanks Scott!

I bought a knockoff from proform one time. I bet proform makes JEGs kits.
I bought it and set aside for 6 months. When I went to put it on and I measured the gap between pickup and reluctor, it was obvious the distributor shaft was bent. I emailed proform and they replaced it for free, even though their short warranty had expired. The new one has worked like a charm for 3+ years.

FWIW, I'm running the Mancini knock off conversion kit, it has not given me any trouble.
