Just a simple ignition upgrade question...?
Forgive me, but I am new to all this and have a lot to learn. The good thing is, I am willing to learn! Now I have read thread appon thread on this subject. I can't believe how much information is in the web site! I am so impressed and I love it! :7
I have a '76 390 and am interested in upgrading my ignition. My question is, do I have what everyone is calling a Dura-Spark ignition? How do I tell if I do? If I do have a Dura-Spark ignition I believe then I have an electronic ignition. I can see everyone loves the Pertronix kit they have used. I also am looking into this kit, but do I need it if I have the Dura-Spark ignition? Would I bennifit from this Pertronix kit?
Thanks in advanced!

The Pertronix is an electronic module that is merely a direct replacement for standard points. Pop your distributor cap and look inside. If you have points then you don't have electronic ignition and the Pertronix will benefit you.

Sweet! Thats one upgrade I don't need to worry about. I thought I had one, but after all those hours of reading on this subject I got very confused!
As always, thank you DF!
