It has been established there is no modification that will use your existing distributor but make it so that if you run into problems, you can just lift the HEI parts out and put the points back in. But if you look at Jason's article very carefully, it looks as though it COULD be made that way.
Since alot of us run alternators, the regulator isnt used so what a perfect place to hide the ignition module. Even if you do use it, there may be room there. The reluctor could be machined to fit over the existing lobe structure which would also properly index it. Just like pulling the rotor off, the reluctor could be slipped right out. If it needs a set screw, we can do that. The mounting for the pickups could be screwed into the existing plate. Then, the wires could be routed outside through the single wire hole with a rubber bushing. You could even leave a disconnect in the wire line and a pigtail to put it all back as original.
Jason's setup is a very ingenious way to resolve the problem, but if we use a think-tank process here, we can get every single thing we want without sacrifice. Lots of great ideas have been mentioned in this thread to do it.
Im going to order a few reluctors and the other parts Jason mentioned and play with it in my spare time. I dont like Chrysler products and simply CANT have anything Chrysler on my truck, so I will be looking for a GM reluctor to replace that slant 6 one he uses.
