The one on Amazon is a distributor I will bet has been modified exactly like I did with the exception being I don't have a lathe and had to use a hack saw and a file. The one on Amazon will also need an o-ring on the shaft. But I believe it is the same distributor. I think they all are, actually. I think the one I bought in 1997 may have been made either in Germany or somewhere in South America...but I don't know that. The box and the data didn't give me much of a clue. At any rate it works fine...as long as you respect the inrush amperage of the coil. The operating amperage according to my meter is around 5 amps but it is the startup current that will mess with your ignition switch (which may have only been rated for 10 amps).
