We have the 24 volt electronic modules in stock. All you need to convert the original M37 distributor to all electronic ignition. See photo at the website below.

We dealt with Charles on this one! First, we do business with the guys who support the forum. Second, good luck getting someone at Petronix to know what the heck is an M37? Third, Charles' kit is complete with photos from his shop. Last, we don't get too many helpful folks up here in Deetroit that answer the phone with a soooothing southern charm!!

I am probably a year from having to do this but what are the benifits from making the switch. I would definetly buy from Charles. In the short time I have had my truck he has directly and indirectly helped me more times than I can count.
Thanks,
Gerry

While I never licked my fingers and touch the coil - they say that the e-ign provides a hotter spark along with removal of the RF. We just overhauled the head/int/exh manifolds to clear them of a ton of carbon build up. We figured the hotter spark would help with detonation plus the reliability of the system itself.

Electronic ignition eliminates the problems where points over time will erode or wear away, which changes the basic timing of the engine. In addition, the points can bounce, foul, and for high RPM engines, float.
