Mopar Ignition

[Bruceynz]

Hello,

A while ago someone posted a step by step guide to covert your mopar from lean burn to a normal electronic ignition, I thought it was a sticky but now I am close to doing it I can't find it. I have searched and searched but can't turn it up, I must be searching the wrong stuff.

Can anyone help with the link to the info?

Thanks
Bruce

Moparts on the Web - Main Index

Has some good info and a clear wiring diagram for the ignition box and ballast resistor. I would route and wire the ignition and then connect to the underhood harness. I will look for my diagrams to see if I can get you the wires you need

The Passenger inner fender well should have the threaded inserts for a Chrysler style ecu, and there is a spot near the voltage regulator for the Ballast resistor

Mopar connector, the least expensive one ironically, and it has the distributor connector already.

The Captain has some cool images of an old magazine article that discusses the entire process, and the removal of the smog stuff as well. If we ask real nice he might post those images here for us.

Thanks for the info guys I also found this, all those links and the link below should be a sticky in the electrical section??

Thanks, I was looking for that Article again too, saw it about 2 weeks ago on here and couldn't remember where LOL>

I run an hei ignition. Its super easy to install and cheaper than the mopar ignition. Gm hei 4 pin module, a proform vacumm advace distributor, and a msd blaster ss e core coil. You could also just use a stock vacumm advance distributor.

I'm thinking my Dart or Aspen doesn't have the lean burn set up (although the aspen does have the EGR box on the firewall) as they both have Vacuum advance on those two, the 86 Dippy though, guy I bought it from said the Lean Burn was disconnected on it and I wanna make sure before I dig into it, what I am looking for.

If it's lean burn it'll have the big computer box attached to the air cleaner assembly and won't have an ECU box. If that's on there and it is disconnected it would almost have to have a vacuum advance distributor and an ECU box.
