Anyone has info on a good brand and install of an electronic ignition for my 65 Bel Air. I what to get rid of the point system for a more reliable electronic one. My Bel Air has a 230 engine.

Thanks

Should be able to find a factory HEI unit off a '75 - up 250 or 292 from a wrecking yard.

Yes, fugly, but functional, and the parts are avialable at pretty much any NAPA, etc in the land.

I bring that up as my Club pres had a problem with his Mallory electronic setup and had to order stuff for it as no one here had it .

Not knocking Mallory as there was a minor wiring issue (ballast resistor shorted to itself, so no resistance), compounded by the Voltage regulator in the alternator on his car decided it liked the top of the volt meter better (ewww).

Under that rare combination, I'm not sure any of them would survive too long.
