Killing off lean burn

[moparguy01]

On the 78 new yorker I picked up, it still has lean burn there and somewhat working.
What I am trying to decide is if it is better to do the electronic ignition swap, or just swap it out for a msd box.

Can anyone explain the process of putting the standard electronic ignition in? What wiring needs to be changed?

Thanks everyone

Some may like the MSD setup, but it seems to me that unless you are stepping up to a rebuild or something that deviates from stock, stick with the factory stuff. I run a 493 in the Charger with the Mopar Performance electronic ignition. Its reliable and parts are easy to find. There may be SOME gains for me with an MSD, but I don't feel the need to spend $300 or more for 3 horsepower.

you can buy a Chrysler Electronic Conversion with distributor & a harness to adabt your current system, Mancini Racing sells them with the a new CEI distributor, orange HP ECU box & harness for $229.95, the electronic voltage regulator & 4 pin ballast resister are extra... This may help some...

 Petronx is another cheep, simple, and stone reliable option.

The Mopar electronic set up is cheep, easy, and reliable too. All the parts are a simple salvage yard trip away. No need to spend 3 bills at mancini. Most good auto supply store have or can order the "repair" harness for the voltage regulator and the "repair" harness for the module. All you need at that point is The wireing diagram, some wire, and a 4 wire ballast resistor.
