Is the TI AMP box still mounted to the fender well on the drivers side behind the headlamp.
The 272 coils were never offered in service thus are difficult to find and EXPENSIVE $500 - the reproductions are not worth having. My Green LT1 has the original box distributor and coil, The Black LT1 has all of the parts with the car however currently it has a mallory distributor. I imagine it could run 1500 - 2000 to convert the car back if you have to buy everything. YOU COULD put a points distributor and coil with a TI coil label and dummy the TI harness. They make solid state circuit boards for the amplifiers and they generally do not have problems. You can also service the original boards yourself with new MUCH BETTER transistors for less than $100 in parts. The systems are good for 10k RPM and unlike points have no wear points like the distributor lobes or the actual points faces.

I assume it is still in place. I can see why they probably did not remove the AMP box when they replaced the TI distributor. wow! not the easliest place to access. I fear buying all the right components to return to stock only to find the "new" parts need to be rebuilt and restored. Thanks for some education!!

The son of the previous owner who had the restoration done took possession of the car toward the end, and along with changing the ignition, had assorted ARP bolts installed as well as chrome hold down and thermostat housing. What belongs in the manifold vacuum port with the blue anodized plug?
