I've got a 1979 34' Silverton with Chrysler M360B engines (with electronic
ignition).

When I bought the Queen, one of the two Chrysler 318s was equipped with that
late 70s version of Chrysler electronic ignition. The other had the
standard straight pts-condenser setup. I was advised by a knowledgeable
person to just cut the whole system out, even though at the time it wasn't
giving any trouble. The logic was that even though it was an "upgrade" from
the standard of 1974, it was still, in 1998, irrefutably obsolete
technology, and could be replaced on both engines with modern day systems,
fairly cheaply.

I pulled the system, and installed a new electronic module on each engine --
the small kind that fits right inside the distributor. I also replaced one
of the distributors and both coils at the same time. The biggest pain of
the job had nothing to do with the electronic ignition. The Chrysler EE
setup of that era is housed under a shoebox sized plastic housing, which was
used primarily as a convenient junction housing for a host of engine related
wiring. All that had to be dealt with.
