I had a 74' 260Z. One day the transistor ignition unit just ... failed.
A replacement was over $600 if it was even available.
So I rewired it with an HEI module. The operation was relatively simple
with an early HEI module. It worked with a generic coil, stock tach and
stock pickup in the distributor for a couple years until I sold the
car. As a side effect, the ignition was now so strong that, thanks to
the early SU carbs I also put on and the torque of that L26 engine, I
could start the car from a dead stop in fifth gear without dragging the
clutch particularly much.
