Reviving the thread with a cross post form another.

The "other" popular motion ignition box seemed to be Mark Ten B as seen on these two cars






I've heard they were or were similar to an equivelant HeathKit. Nice to see these old boxes also working on these cars.

I'm not sure if there was a rhyme or reason to which box would be used, but I really think the black box looks the best.

Popular Science Dec 1974

I don't think the MARK TEN boxes were used until 70+ on the BM Cars. I had a 70 BM Chevelle that came with the MARK TEN box. had date coded diodes correct for the car build date, so assumed it was still the original one to the car.

My 68 and 69 had the Phase III Box.

You may have a good point. Can anyone check any old Motion literature to see when the Phase III SUper Spark seems to first show up, and also the Mark Ten unit? I think the one I have is a 1970 unit and it's over at my dad's right now.

I have some of the red boxes stashed away. I think I still have a couple of the blue ones too.

The one I had posted for sale here didn't generate any interest. I posted it on ebay and got what I wanted. I do have a few others used and NOS. I would be willing to part with. All are jacobs style with the generic (non Jacobs branded) switch. I can include a reproduction Phase III sticker.

Motion was using the gold Delta box in the early 1970s.
The ad for it shows the 1970 Motion drag car in white.
The 70 drag car was first red ribbon paint in 1970, then white about 1971, then was painted yellow thru the early 1970s.

Motion put a large black &quot;Phase III&quot; decal on it.
The gold box with a Phase III decal is a nice low cost day two item
