Our resident whiner is upset about the stock-distributor conversion that has the audacity to use a reluctor and pickup coil from a (GASP!) MOPAR distributor! It fits nicely, and works great. It even uses a remotely-mounted GM trigger module which contains the current limiter and the other features which were designed into the original system to protect against overcurrent and premature failure of the module due to overheating. Anything that is capable of developing an AC sine wave will trigger the GM module- - - -the MOPAR unit just happens to fit and function properly. Yes, there's a danger of flashover from the close-spaced wires when the original small diameter cap and rotor is used, but that can be minimized somewhat by using the 55-up tall cap and rotor instead of the shorty used on the 216 distributors.
