"67" 273 Distributor swap

[carguy]

I have a 67 Belvedere II 2dr with a 273 (64,000). I'm looking to swap out the points distributor with a factory electronic one. What years should I look for in the junk yard? I know I don't want one from a lean-burn motor. I've done many swaps on GM cars, wasn't a big deal. Will I need any wiring harness modifications? What parts will I need to remove from the donor? I'm not looking to make a race car or anything. Just looking to improve the performance a little. I have swapped the 2bbl carb and manifold to a 72 340 intake and a 600 Edelbrook carb. Still have the orginal single exhaust, will probably switch to duals this summer. Not real sure I want to add headers. Let me know hat you guys think...

MPP has a set up that you can buy that has everything you need, distributor, roter, cap, wiring harness, orange ignition box, and the resistor. You can adjust how much vacume advance you want with an allen wrench on the dist (to fine tune so there won't be any spark knock). The instructions are pretty much straight forward. I think it runs about $80 or so. Plus, do go with the headers, it'll help out on the top end, the magnum manifolds will even be better than stock manifolds.

you'll need the correct ballast resister, (the unit in the car should very well work.) donated from the donor car, of course, with the "box" thats on the wall or fender. The coil too. The wiring harness is cheap if the donor cars unit is shot.
You will need to splice in to a 12 volt, key on wire. The main ignition feed is the wire you want. If you don't know which one that is , don't worry, any thick wire is ok when it has 12volts when you turn the key on.
The distributor car be had in car & trucks till about '77 I think. Somewhere around there, the leanburn came in. Its easy to check, the have no guts (LOL) just a pickup and rotor.
Almost forgot, yea, headers are a nice improvment allaround! A mild cam helps as well. Keep it small.

Hey Guys, thanks for the info. Hey Rumblefish360, your car isn't the Amityville Horror is it? Just kidding. Too may late-nite movies I guess. Someone also told me about a pertronics setup thats works pretty well, and is a snap to install. Thanks again...
One more thing, at the risk of sounding ignent, what is MPP?

Now behave yourself, I have family Raleigh. and I'll be there Sunday morning. Truly, the only thing about the horror is the murders and the fact the story won't die.
