Find a acell dual point dist e bay or swap meet buy a pertronix conversion and forget it after setup reliable and overall cheap to do I have a setup like this for 10 +years. and it can be converted back to points if needed

I've got their new system on my 64 Belvedere's 383. Quality is great & Don curved it for my stock 330 hp 383. Only problem seems to be that FBO's dizzy has to run off manifold vacuum & not port vacuum, so my 383 still detonates at WOT. I've called Don 3 or 4 times & he's been helpful, but said my carb is probably too lean. Carb isn't lean at all, so gotta figure it out. Really like the quality, but wish I'd gone with an Accel dizzy & MSD box.

Thank you everybody for the advice!!! I beleive I will go with the Revenator/Firecore kit from RT Garage. Hopefully it will work out good. Thanks again!

what is your total with the can plugged? (initial+ slots). what RPM does the mech adv max out at? Does his dist use the 2.5" OD thin flat $22 plate with the (5) pairs of rectangular slots? or is it just for OE dists? For a solution I would limit the mech adv total and or sub in a heavier spring to slow the rate. As you know it'll take some experimentation. You want to be fairly close to the (pinging) line but absolutely not over it & there is silent ping & peoples' hearing threshold varies so you need a cushion so don't crowd it too close & pinging is extremely damageing so being a bit conservative is a good plan. Holler how it goes. EDIT For a BB I would set the total (initial+slots), not with the can, to 36 for a close/good start & I am assuming you are over that now. then work with the springs. if you are less than 36 right now depending on where the springs come in at you may need more octane. I would do a cranking compression test for a baseline #.

Robert, thanks for the info & advice. Not to hijack this thread, but I think the detonation may have broken a ring or two since I'm getting a lot of blow by. 97k mile orig motor & had some sludge so after we did the rislone & atf clean a couple of times and some mopar combustion chamber cleaner thought we were good to go, but seems much worse now. SO, after the rebuild is done, I'll use your info. I thought about the Revenator & Firecore combo, but needed to keep the orig look.

I think you will like the Revnnator/Firecore/coil combo. I have it and could not believe how much better my car performs. I used to have the Mopar performance kit with chrome box. I know it sounds cliche`that I say how much better my car performs, but Im telling the truth. Starts better, idles smoother, and responsive. Burn offs so much easier. Mine is a stock 440-6. Had to do some tuning, cuz I had pinging issues with the MP one and when I installed the Firecore. Some spring changes on the Firecore and no more ping.
But always keep a spare ign box and ballast resistor on hand. Had the Revennator for 2 yrs now with no issues.

Good choice I promise. I love mine. Tman speaks the truth. I was having starting issues when hot, those are gone now.

This is what I run and it works great.
