Eric... You probably found some of the best people to learn from here.
I am sure of that ;-)
A question: What do you think about the Airtex electronic ignition conversion kit?
No. Stay with the stock Dodge electronic ignition. That's what I had in my '77 B200 van with a 318 cu. in. (Same basic engine as you have.) Never gave me any problems and boosted gas mileage once I tweaked the timing.
The 318 that was in my '69/70 Class A had points ignition. I'm going to the stock Dodge electronic ignition after I rebuild the engine.
There is a performance version of the Dodge electronic ignition but I'm not sure if it's suitable or necessary in your motorhome.
If you have something other than the OEM Dodge electronic ignition, a previous owner changed it out. If so, I'd strongly recommend changing back to OEM. (The OEM ignition was nearly bullet proof so I don't know why anyone -- other than a race engine builder -- would want to change it.)
