Hi,
Looking to get some help identifying my ignition system and accompanying coil.
Presuming that the 1974 car would have originally had points and happy they’re gone, but still has the ballast so should I presumed this is an electronic firer and as the ballast is stil, there, should be supplying the Rev counter okay.
Plus what coil might replace the one here? There is no identifying text left on the rusty exterior.
While it works and runs fine, I am ultimately investigating a non functioning rev counter which from reading some other posts, could be associated with someone replacing the points with this updated system and it being incompatible with the old style tachometer, but I could have misunderstood.
All a bit new to me so all pointers received with gratitude.
