Re: Electronic Ignition for 23rd series w/288 ci

I have a bit of experience with the electronic ignition in other cars. It works well in the 12 volt cars I have owned, but I didn't like the look of the non-authentic coil and wiring. However the Packard is another story. If the Packard is unreliable that may be a reason to switch to electronic ignition. However based on what others have reported, the reliability may be worse rather than better. When the electronic ignition fails you get a tow truck (that happened to me twice). At least the points are understandable and can be fixed.
