Re: [Amc-list] 61 American Deluxe 2 door sedan - electronic ignition

About the only thing you can get is a Pertronix conversion. If they don't have it listed order one for a 63 Falcon w/200 six (or 170 -- both use the same basic distributor, just curved different). The AMC L-head uses an Autolite distributor which is internally the same as the small Ford six (except for advance curve). 

You could use something like an MSD6AL box, but that's probably overkill. It's an electronic conversion but keeps the points. Only a small voltage goes through the points, so they last virtually forever. No worries about point bounce on a slow turning L-head six!

What is the best and most affordable electronic ignition for a 1961 L head??
