Default T.i.

Look at the wire coming out of the bottom of the distributor. As long as nothing has been modified, if you have a single black wire you have regular ignition. If you have a double white wire with a plastic connector at the end you have transistor ignition. The part number tag is wrapped around the distributor body just above the intake manifold---if it is still there.
