    two ways
    buy a conversion kit at your local autoparts store(petronix sell a great one for $80)

    or get the dizzy,ignition module,coil and bracket,off a 75 and up 302(be sure not to get the TFI one)

    i like the conversion kit its alot easier than the other one and its all contained in your stock dizzy's cap.

    What he said...

    I just wanted to add a link to some info if you try the stock electronic route:

    It's a little more involved than a Pertronix, but IMO it's worth it.

    Oh yeah, the Pertronix 2 has had some tech problems from what I am reading online.
    Pertronix 1 is tried and true.

    That is interesting, haven't heard of a problem. I've had my Ignitor ll for about 5yrs without a problem. What kind of problems did they have?:huh:

    Thanks,
