Default How can i tell?

A friend of mine has just purchased a 1968 project car and for some odd reason he wants to know whether it has transistorized ignition. how can i find this, what do i need to look for? we don't have any indications as we do not have a tank/build sheet.
thanks for your time

Check this search page and click on some of the links. I saw a good soruce that describes the components and how they work. And several others that show pictures of the diffeent parts. With some surfing and reading you should be able to find out what you need to know.

sarcasm and belittling not appreciated 2BAD, it was a simple question coming a novice restorer, I'M SURE you were once in the same situation. it is people like yourself that give our hobbly, and they people within it a bad name. i suggest that from now on you address matters on a more positive and friendly note! On a more optomistic note, Jvette73, thank you for your help uopn this issue, it is much appreciated.

There is a lot of info.. search the archive section at http://www.ncrs.org TI cars had an amplifer mounted near the left forward corner of the engine compartment. I don't know all of the particulars but I'm sure you'll get some detailed responses from them. Welcome to the forum. I'm sure the post above was in humor. There are a lot of grat folks here on the forum.. don't go away. :grouphug:
