Default Ignition Controller

Does anyone know where I can find an ignition controller? Did a frame off and put an LS2 in a 61. Bought the motor, harness & ignition controller from Street Performance in Arkansas about 5 yrs ago. They mistakenly sent an ignition controller for a 24 reluctor, but the motor has a 58 reluctor wheel installed. They are no longer in business. I am only using the front two O2 sensors & have a standard [stick] trans.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to pick a specifc year for your engine. Mix and match is where the headaches begin.

Thanks John, you are correct. I contacted a vendor recommended on here yesterday and discovered just that. I am getting all the info together and will hopefully have resolution soon.
Thanks!

Try the EFI connection for 58X hardware: https://www.eficonnection.com/home/c...x-product-line

But EFI connection just uses the Holley HP EFI ECU for the controller: https://www.holley.com/products/fuel.../parts/554-113

It reads like all you need is the controller and the Holley ECU (which can work with 58X or 24X) should be what you can use/all you need.

Let us know how it works out please.
