Default What is this part?
Hi, I am getting ready to lift the body off my 69 BB convertable and while removing the headlight assemblies, I noticed an electrical part mounted on an aftermarket bracket infront of the radiator. I have no idea what it is and was hoping someone could tell about it.
Thanks

That is the K66 Amplifier for the electronic ignition someone moved it from the front of the wheel well liner.

K66 is the option number for transistorized ignition.

Thanks for all replies! I suspected it was an important part but did not think it belonged in this location. I will try to find out exactly where it should be located and move it. Thanks again.
