Mopar Electronic Dist. Conversion Kit 273-360

The Mopar Electronic Dist. Conversion Kit 273-360 by PROFORM is engineered for classic Mopar engine builders and restoration enthusiasts who want to replace aging mechanical point-type distributors with modern electronic ignition reliability. This conversion kit eliminates the maintenance headaches of traditional points—wear, arcing, and timing drift—while preserving your original distributor appearance and bolt-in fitment. Whether you're resurrecting a 273, 318, or 360 cubic-inch Mopar engine, this kit delivers the ignition precision needed for consistent starting, smooth idle, and dependable highway performance without expensive engine bay modifications.

PROFORM's electronic conversion uses solid-state pickup and control circuitry to generate a clean, consistent spark across the RPM range—a critical advantage over worn point contacts that degrade dwell timing and voltage delivery. The kit's internal electronics manage timing with minimal voltage loss, improving fuel economy and cold-start cranking compared to original mechanical systems. The compact 4.5-pound assembly fits within the stock distributor housing, meaning no external modules, wiring harnesses, or exposed relays to clutter your engine compartment. Internals are potted against vibration and moisture, essential for long-term durability in vehicles that see actual use rather than museum displays.

Mechanics and DIY restorers working on 1960s–1980s Mopar A-body, B-body, and C-body platforms benefit most from this direct-fit solution, especially when original point distributors have developed play in the shaft or worn bushings. Installation requires dropping the old distributor and slipping in the new assembly—no machine work, no custom brackets. The kit maintains original rotor-to-cap geometry and spark-plug-wire routing, making it invisible to purists while eliminating the recurring tune-up cycle. Pair this conversion with a quality ignition coil and modern spark plugs to unlock the full potential of your Mopar V8, delivering reliability that matches modern fuel-injected engines without sacrificing authenticity or resale value.
