I think maybe us flathead dudes have been taking a winter sabbatical.
Petronix makes a "drop in" electronic ingnition conversion for the stock distributor. It takes a litte modification on the rotor button to make it work as the kit that fits the point cam does not carry the correct rotor button. This little modification is my dad's concoction so I'll get a bit more info from him to pass along to you. I'll have to say, this isn't my favorite due to the limited advance range of the reluctor in these conversions. It only allows about 16 degrees total advance.
Bob has a HEI conversion he has built that is very impressive and works well on his engine. If he doesn't jump in here I'll alert him to this thread and hopefully he can get you the information on how to build yourself a similiar distributor. There is an explanation of this system hidden somewhere in this board already, but danged if I can find it. I think its in the "flathead modification" topic in this mopar forum, but there are 52 posts in that one.
