- If you are looking for electronic ignition systems, it is often easier to
- upgrade to a factory system than add in an aftermarket kit. Most American
- cars had electronic ignition by the early to mid 70's, while the distributer
- will fit engines from the 60's, and in some cases the late 50's. I have
- upgraded many Chrysler cars, and have helped out on a friend's Chevy.
- In both cases we paid less than $50 for all the parts and wiring in a
- junkyard, and took about a half day for the first time through (I
- have done 5 or 6 since--it tak4es about 1.5 hours once you know where
- to find the right wires to splice into).
-
- Good Luck
