OK. Here is the ignition mod. It basically replaces the Mopar ignition module with a GM HEI module AND bypasses the ballast resistor. This means you don't get the drop down in the spark. Since I did it, I can actually start it even if I flood the battery.
Ignition Mod
This resolved a whole lot of starting issues I had where I would randomly be unable to start the engine and it would take anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 days for everything to kick back in. I didn't change to an HEI coil because it wouldn't fit in the doghouse, but it hasn't made a difference operational wise.
o.k. - i think that looks super do-able - we had someone out today and discussed just having the distributor swapped for one with points - they're going to look into if there's one that will fit it - i know it's old school but i feel more comfortable with a mechanical system that i can see and feel what's going on
