Does anyone know the date (or have an fairly accurate estimate) as to when Chrysler Corp. started installing electronic ignitions on the E-Bodies ?

No V code E Bodies ever had electronic ignition... :alan2cents:

Thanks dodj, Psycho & anlauto  . . .  someone must have converted mine   :notsure:
The thing is, the wiring harness that connects to the box looks so original to me.

Oh well, you guys would know !
This site is awesome, and I'm grateful I found it.

You can order harnesses that include the wiring for Electronic so yes the wiring can look factory

The problem with the appearance of the M&H converted harnesses is that they use a four prong ballast resistor. I prefer to use the conversion kit myself and retain the two prong ballast...however, I also like hiding the ECU inside the car :alan2cents:
