I just inherited a 1975 Chrysler 135 HP (Model 1359HD). If anybody has a good source for parts, I'd sure appreciate a reference. Thanks

Re: 1975 Chrysler 135 HP Magnapower II

Be aware that Magna-Power II was a poor ignition, only made for a couple of years, and only used on a couple of models. It tended to fail regularly.

If you are having ignition problems, you may be able to get parts from CDI or over at The Chrysler Crew from franzmarine@aol.com.

There was also a retro-fit kit made to convert ignition to old Motorola style.

If you are not having ignition problems--run it. While that ignition did fail regularly, some of them did run well and last--It is a crap-shoot.

Thank you for that information. I'm having the engine tested today and will know more shortly.
