Can anyone tell me what my options are for upgrading the ignition on
this vehicle?

The engine is a V6, 3.9L, with a two-barrel Holley carburetor. The
existing distributor uses a Hall effect magnetic pickup.

The "vacuum transducer" on the spark control computer sprang a leak and
I have to replace the spark control computer along with it. I can get a
used one for under $50, but I thought I would look into the possibility
of getting better performance and/or mileage from an after market
ignition upgrade.

I would specifically be looking to bypass the stock spark control
computer altogether.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack

You might be able to find something under MSD ignitions that would fit this
unit and be an
upgrade.. Be prepared to pay $200-$600 or even more.

AND, I dont think that you will notice the difference from the properly
working stock
Dodge unit.  Its your money, but if it were I, I would replace the damaged
SCC with
a used on and just keep trucking.
