The 230 is a whole new animal from the 235 that was dropped in 1962.The best ign for it is the HEI that came on the 78 models up into the 80's. The 75-77 will work good too, but the coil is separate from the cap. One from a 250 or292 will fit. Go into it & make sure the mechanical & vacuum advance are working good. Run a 12 gauge wire from the bat connector to the pink wire on the back of the ign. switch. Install it in the normal way to install a dist.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

I have used this one successfully. I went back to original look (small distributor) by using a Pertronix unit.

Id be all over that unit from Langdon's stovebolt, you get the complete distributor and coil for just under $100 and an expert like Landgon to hold your hand, what a deal.
