What Pertronix kit would I need for my 440?  Mild street 440 with stock coil.  I'm seeing 1381A, 1484A, etc...  Not sure what difference is.

It depends on if you are running points/elec or dual points now.

I put one of these in a 440 once because I got one on ebay for like $100.

It seemed to work good, but I had to grind part of the head off to make it fit.
Personally I think you'd be better off with an MSD or Mopar ECU. A lot of folks here are running Firecore ignition also.

Thanks.  I had picked up a remanufactured single point from Autozone recently to help troubleshoot a problem I had been having with my engine at higher RPM's (ref. other thread) and plan to use that as a base to add the Pertronix to.  Did a little more research last night and found that the 1381A is for single point distributors so went ahead and ordered it.
