Need a little help here...
So I've been searching the internet for a few hours and I've been pulling up info in regards to the ignition setup on these motors. And I have a few questions in regards to what I have or don't have.
I am building a chump, I completely pulled everything out of the car including the whole wire harness. I am OCD like that
I want to rebuild a new engine harness with just the essentials that I need. It seems NO ONE ever post pictures of what this stuff is suppose to look like...
Fuel
Ignition
Starter
and the lights.
I plan on installing a new fusebox and just wiring the car up myself. I was told the 13B I bought was already upgraded with electronic ignition and not the 12 point ignition system. So I took some pictures of the stuff I had and want to verify I have everything I need and if this is going to be a simple wiring job?
So I kept because I wasn't sure if I was going to need that little brown box up top
Here is what I take is the igniters...they say J-105 on the back of them I keep reading how these and the J-107s are getting harder to come by. So I take it these are some of the ones people look for and are indeed the electronic igniter's?
The coils that were in the car...
And what the distributor looks likes...

That's a 1980 SA ignition system - - only year that was built that way, with the separate ignitor box & J-105's.
FB's used J-109 ignitors mounted directly to the distributor.
Neer heard of a J-107.

81+ dizzy is less prone to high-rpm misfire, and parts including ignitors are more readily available since it was made for more years. Also simpler to wire if you're making a DIY harness.

This is what the main goal of the car is...just to keep things simple that way if something goes wrong we can find the issue and fix it right away instead of hunting for the problem if a problem ever arises.
I guess some more parts to my list have been added.
