Transistor ign question

Does anyone know if this modern day GM electronic ign module can be adapted to work with a 60's GM transistor ign distributor?

Corvette began its usage of (Option K66) Transistor Ignition (TI) in 1964 along with full-size Chevrolets and intermediates. Just for the record, Chevrolet was not the first GM Division to use the TI system. In 1963, Pontiac introduced TI to the automotive world as an option on the full-size Pontiac. The part number on the 1963 Pontiac amplifier was 1115002 and is one of two TI amplifiers that is substantially different and will not work on Corvettes.

In 1964, the amplifier used across the board (both Chevrolet and Pontiac) was GM part number 1115005. This amplifier continued to be used on Corvettes until a part number change in 1/68.

Just because this is a GM amplifier it may not work with your corvette.

redvetracr post of the MSD box is that of an amplifier for corvettes made from 1968 and after.

I'm using an MSD-6 with my old TI pickup in my '65 TI distributor just fine. It'll work fine also with the GM electronic ign module.

See my post about hook-up in the C3 tech section.
