Old Electronic Ignition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking at buying a truck as a DD and it had this electronic ignition on it. Is anyone familiar with this setup and if so give me some particulars. The truck was bought in 1973 and has was stored inside until this year. I am thinking this ignition was installed in the mid 70's.

Not familiar with that one. Parts on the side of the road could be an issue. I would stick to HEI conversion or a Pertronix conversion. Parts are more readily available.

Thanks for the info. When I get the truck I will probably stick one of these in it like I did with my BB truck.
