$650 to do all that??? That's a tad ridiculous. Converting a Mopar to an electronic ignition isn't as easy as doing a GM car. You have to get a new engine harness for it for specifically for an electronic ignition which Year One has. That's who I got it from for my Charger. The distributor is easy...just get one for a 1970 Dodge Charger. You also need the electronic control box, voltage regulator, and ballast resistor for a 1970 Charger also.

Thanks guys. I will look into it. He made it to a service station today and they determined that it was the coil, replaced that and also replaced his cap, rotor, wires and a bunch of other routine stuff and charged him $650. Car is apparently fine again. I had advised him to change to HEI when I saw how hard it was to find a place that had the points.
