Default TI box conversion

Is anyone out there doing MSD conversions to stock TI boxes? If so what is the person/company name?

Presumably you have done some on line research yourself and come up empty handed as I presume have most of us. The current tech replacement board sold to go inside an existing TI housing works well. Have you considered that?

Don't mean to hijack this thread, BUUUUUTTT, on another note, can a stock Corvette TI distributor be made to work with an MSD 6AL box?

Found what I needed.............

Thanks,
Rex

I ran my TI off of an Accel box for years. They can run on about any electronic ignition box.
