When I bought my 1970 BOSS 302, the previous owner had installed a Stinger ignition system.  I have the specifications when the distributor was calibrated at Stinger in Midway City, CA back in the 1970s.  As I've searched for parts for the Stinger and haven't found anything to date, I bought a 289 HiPo distributor as a back-up.

Mark,
Why not switch to the Dura-Spark II? Its OEM reliable, and a breeze to install.

I use the Pertronix 1181LS Ingnitor along with their flame thrower coil. It has has a Hall effect sensor that senses the lobes on the shaft rather than a plastic ring with magnets. My tach works fine. It works great for me.
