Have been using coil in cap distributors for past 2 seasons and noticed a huge improvement.
Easy starts, smooth idle and good timing curve in reaching cruise. As Paul said AAA marine makes these.

Not available for Mopar engines yet but there is still R&D going on so you never know. They'll probably get the advance curves set up for most of the GM product first before they move on. Looks like they have a couple for Ford too but no Chrysler yet that I know of.

Big D is Correct The HEI Unit I referred to in only available for GM and Ford at this time . I see AAA has other units for Chrysler ,But not the HEI .

If I was looking to up grade a Chrysler from points ,I would look at find a OEM set up off a later model 318 marine .Other wise I would just as soon stay with points . Now if the come out with the HEI that will fit I would jump on it .
