Option 1

Call Pertronix and ask for
18433 Reluctor Ring
16430 Module Kit

Typical installation here.

Option 2.

Check on http://car-part.com/ and find an electronic ignition module and matching distributor from a '80-'82 Luv, Imark, or Pup with a G180 or a G200 engine.

Do the simple 2 wire conversion shown in the complete instructions with pictures that is in the info section on this site's front page.

Add an Accel or a Pertronix higher output coil.

Either option will bump up your spark a bunch and won't keep you from passing smog. The old points-type ignition just isn't that great. It tends to fade a bit at higher rpm's.

BTW..while you are at it...you might as well switch your stock 35 amp alternator for a 50 amp one. Just have the guy at the parts counter look up the one for your truck that comes with air conditioning, (they are both the same price), then run a heavier guage wire from your alternator plug to your battery, and throw in a couple of 50 amp blade fuses where your fusable links that connect that wire to the battery are.

option 3, click this link.

do you know how much it would cost to buy the reluctor ring and module kit?

I went to Summit and priced them after reading this post.
Around $20.00 for the ring,and $90.00 for the module.

I got my whole (1741)"kit" for $65, I bet they would give you a good price if you called them needing those individual parts #'s
