Hello,

I'd like to change out the old points distributor on my '73 620 to an electronic ignition.  Does anyone have any experience and recommendations on a brand or source for an electronic ignition system and the necessary information for making the swap?

Thanks.:cool:

You could also use the 79-80 620 distributor.  It has the module on the side and is a simple install.

Thanks.  Great pictures.  However, when I try the link (http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=194&ptset=A )  I can't get there.  :(When I try the partsamerica home page and search for ignition modules, I get nothing for my '73 620 L16.   Any suggestions? Thanks.

Ok not sure why but try this. Go to Google & search for Kragen or Shucks auto parts...the year & type of car you will search for on that site is a 77 Chevy Camaro...go to replacement auto parts...look for ignition modules & youll see a few for $15 or so...thats the one youll need.
