Conv/Comp Ignition switch
I've got a switch mounted on the left side of my engine compartment labeled "CONV IG / COMPUTER". I've never seen this type of switchable ignition setup before. Anybody have any experience with it? There's what appears to be a finned Ignition module mounted inside the left fender well too. I'll see if I can get a pic of that module.
Here's the module:

The Jacobs "Energy Pak" is a capacitive discharge ignition system for hi-output spark. The switch unit looks like someone has wired in a way to choose between Conventional ignition system or Computer (Jacobs unit) and was able to leave both units in place. Interesting.
