Add L6 powered Pontiacs to your list. Every one of them I've worked on used the chevy style IGN-2.

More times than not, chevy V8 cars used the starter solenoid 'R' terminal for IGN-2/cranking power. On some of those, the only hot wires at the ignition switch, while cranking, was battery and solenoid wire. Add a mini starter along with HEI, and you had to use diodes and relays for starter solenoid and/or HEI.
