Hey Guys,
I was looking for a Mopar Electronic Conversion kit for a small block. Chrysler says it's NS1. The MP number comes up in ebay with several folks selling a Proform kit which says it's Mopar licensed. Anyone had experience with this kit? How has it peformed? Reliability? Quality? Any other complete conversion kits you'd recommend?
Thanks!!

There are several options for ignition, depends on how OEM you want it to appear, and of course the ol' wallet. If you look through the archives, you'll find Pertronix, FBO, a variety of MSD setups, the GM HEI trick, etc. X2

IMHO Proform is hit and miss. Be prepared to throw a out of the box on a dizzy machine. Also, the vacuum advance cans can be set excessively high. That can be addressed when you have the dizzy tuned.

I would look for a decent used factory dizzy, then buy a coil, resister, control unit, from a parts house, pick up the wiring harness from Mancini and you are all in for about $100. You can buy it all new for that price.

Kit, no. You can get a new distributor from Rockauto. $54, Spectra Ballast from Rockauto. $5 Standard. Wiring harness from Jegs. $21 Jegs Ignition control module Rockauto. $17 United, has Motorola power transistor. $97. If you want to step up a level, get the distributor from above then use this kit from Jegs. Upgraded ICU, ballast and wiring $64 $118, which is about the cost of that Proform kit.

I ordered a 73 340 dizzy from Rock Auto. When I unpacked it turns out to be a ProForm.
