    TI or non - TI ignition

    How do I tell if my 1966 Covette with 327 / 350 engine has a TI ignition or not?

      Hi- There are numerus ways- This might be the easiest-A factoIMG_20220313_163044868.jpgry TI ignition would have this component installed.

          Open the distributor cap window and look to see if it has a point set.

                  A quick way is to look for a Ballast Resistor that is left of the Master Cylinder on the firewall. If its there
                  then no TI and vise versa. Larry

                      Thank you Larry. It does have one so no TI.

                          Post #4 says no points, right? - indicating it is TI
                          Post #6 says yes (it does have a ballast resistor), right? - indicating it is not TI

                          Did I miss something here?
                          thx,

                              I think post #4 might be the reply to post #2 (picture of amp)

                                  Correct. No amp and a ballast resistor. Sorry for any confusion.

                                      Ahhhhhh, Bach (as Radar would say )

                                      I thought Post #4 was in response to Post #3...my bad..."never mind" (as Emily Litella would say)
                                      thx,

                                          Good catch... glad it got resolved and didn't cause a global thermonuclear war!
