Hi! Back in the late '80s I had a '66 Newport that had some sort of electronic ignition conversion on it. I don't have any pictures or anything, but inside the distributor there was a plastic circular basket (for lack of a better term) where the points would be, that had 8 "windows" in it that would trigger the ignition as it rotated. I am only curious about this because I broke one of the windows off when I was attempting to fix god knows what, and I had to replace the whole distributor with an aftermarket OEM style points distro because whatever I broke was no longer available. I was 19 and had no idea what I was doing . . .
Do any of our "old-timers" have any idea what type of electronic ignition conversion setup this might have been?
thanks in advance!
