A DISTRIBUTOR close to original?

[bobfist]

Hi!
Any idees of some DISTRIBUTOR as close as possible to the original 69 440 magnum?
Any new produced ?

[maxwellwedge]

Automatic or 4-speed?

auto

Well - If you want all original with points you will have to buy a used single point. If you don't care, then the Mopar Performance electronic looks similar but then you have to deal with the ECU etc.

Here is the one you need for a 69.

I found a single point , but is there any that i can use new produced and still use all of the original parts such as coil and volt regulator?

[Nacho-RT74]

EVERYONE is able to run original coil and regulator, although better to run an upgraded regulator...

you can get a MP electronic that only way to tell is diff from your points dist is the double wire coming out from it and running to Ign module, instead the single wire running to coil - lead.

will need of course to fit the ign module somewhere into the engine bay

there are some other dist what are "built in" modules ( actually really mounted on, underneath of ) what will mean no need to fit an ign module around, although still will need some small wiring mods, positive source at least.

Pertronix Is one of them ? I think so... Procomp too, from the distance, and using a Mopar dist tan cap ( they come with diff colors caps ), will be hard to tell if is the original or not, unless detailing the module underneath

[Nacho-RT74]

also adviced an upgrade on charging system ( powerfull alt ) to get better juice to the module, no matter which module/dist you choose

THanks for your help guys!
ANy links to those products ?

Here is what I (and many others) used:

THanks!
so i can use a original looking voltage regulator then?

[terrible one]

You will need to upgrade to an electronic regulator to match, like this one:

But if I remember correctly they do make electronic regulators that look like the original stock points type

[bobfist]

sounds great!
i want it to look stock

[Nacho-RT74]

there are 3 stock regulator for those years.

Big black box mechanical... up to 69
flat unit electronic ( first release ) from 70 even apparently some 69s C bodies, second half year production got them too
flat unit electronic for cars with ign modules... from 72

last two have diff buyild dates ( on a quick search you can see black Mopar pieces with two diff build dates according with the year ) apparently the firts electronic unit was a little bit upgraded on the second release for electronic ignitions

NOW... mechanicals being upgraded with electronical internals... they have been splitted on opinions. Some ppl likes, some ppl not, so is a tryal and error process

what is true is the charging system needs to get a good average power, save the low power peaks, to keep it in good working conditions... NO MATTER WHICH ELECTRONIC INGINTION YOU USE!!! after all is a computer and like anykind of computer needs a good and stablish power source

[maxwellwedge]

Is this car going to be restored as original or are you planning to put a 10 million watt stereo, 65" plasma TV, Nintendo, playstation etc in it?         

For a stock resto the stock stuff is 100% fine.

as close to original as possible

as close to original as possible

If you don't need to have a distributor with the correct part number stamping or tag ('69's had both, stamped in the housing and later on in the year, a tag attached to it). Correct me if I'm wrong Jim.. Oh, back to my point. You can get remanufactured 440 single-point distributors all day long over here. If you need help acquiring one, PM or email me and I will try to help. I've recently picked up two remanufactured single-points from my local auto parts store. I also have an original early model distributor with the part number stamped in it that I'll use in the Daytona, either with points or the Pertronix Ignitor II system. I'm running the Ignitor I system in my Charger 500 right now. Albeit I haven't taken the 500 out on the road yet, the motor fires up perfectly everytime and has great throttle response, even cold...

This VR is a bit pricey but built like a tank and looks original.
