I like the GM module with the DII distributor. It's cheap, easy, and cheap. Did I mention cheap and easy?

One thing missing on this diagram. Run the black wire from the distributor to ground. Make sure the module is grounded and that you use dielectric grease when you mount it. It will get warm, so put it on a sheet of metal or on the firewall or fenderwell.

you don't actually have to use the DSII module for it, it'll work just fine with the ignition control module for a GM HEI thingie
check the tech section of the homepage, it should have a link
