Ballast resistor-> 4 prong to 2 prong

Let's back up here. When most of us say GM HEI we MEAN GM HEI not some distributor. Run a Mopar dist and trigger an actual GM HEI module bought from the parts stores

Now what about that box you pictured? You think it's bad? ?? As I said if that works it's a great ignition, IT IS an earlier version of Multiple Spark Discharge
I thought that the GM HEI ignition box/setup was the module on top of the late SBC distributors. How else can you operate GM HEI.

I guess I'm missing some of the puzzle of this big picture.

Thanks
