A great item to convert your GM product to electronic ignition. Works well and is easily installed. I know of many installations that have been in service for years, so the parts are reliable. Install a new high voltage ignition coil at the same time and gain some performance and extend the life of your sparkplugs.

This product works as advertised. I installed it in a stock '72 c-10 with a 350 engine. It runs smoother than ever and smoothe through the RPM range. No sputter like it had with points. One drawback is that the instructions make it sound like installation is a 10 minute job. Realistically, you should probably plan on a good hour to remove the distributor from the engine, do the conversion, and reinstall and time the ignition. If you plan on doing a coil too and want to run a 12V lead to the coil you'll have additional time to think of also. To do conversion and coil with 12V lead took me 2 hours before the test drive.

Installation is pretty straight forward,didn't like removing the distributor,but there is no way around it.[I put a similar unit on a Ford about 35 yrs. ago with the distributor in place in a third of the time]I think this unit could have been engineered a little better,as the triggering disc is a little wonky,[you have to screw it to the the bottom of the rotor and use shimming washers to get the proper air gap.010 to .060]It works fine and this has been around for over 20 yrs., so they must be doing o.k.Engine fired right up,set timing, no problems so far.
