It is not real tunable. It had some reliability issues....okay, a lot of reliability issues. The concept of having electronics on top of an engine in all the heat does not make for a real reliable set up. It was, IMHO, a decent idea but poorly executed. Most have yanked the lean burn and gone to a regular vacuum/mechanical advance system that does tune a lot easier. Craig

Do not even think about keeping it.... Very simple to convert to a regular electronic ignition and regular carb of various sorts.

I'm thinking about making a sleeper out of my 78 lebaron. should I keep the lean burn, or ditch it. how tunable is it Perhaps one of Chrysler's worst nightmares, trash it...I've converted a few, install a factory or aftermarket manifold/carb system of your choice, use a Chrysler single point vac adv. dist. install a Pertronix conversion kit along with the proper coil, do have a factory service manual so you can you can eliminate the computer, half the harness nightmare, along with the ballast resistor(s)correctly for a trouble free system that's reliable

Had a 5th Ave lone time ago. Typical totally underpowered 318. One time it failed to start, no spark.
In order to get it home I brought a spare points distributor and a jumper wire. Not only was I happy that we did not have to hire a tow truck but this 5th that would previously barely climb a speed bump was now spinning the rear tire. So it could now lay rubber and it felt like it picked up 50hp.
We then converted to the MP elec ign w the orange box. To this day it makes me wonder why anyone would put up with the lack of power the Lean Burn cars had.
