The Original TI distributor is an iron body distributor and uses the same rotor and cap as the points unit. The entire breaker plate is replaced with a pick-up coil, pole, piece and reluctor, (thingie). No module. The "Module " is a separate amplifier box mounted near the core support. I will not be using it at all. They were very trouble prone due to the germanium transistors back in the day. The MSD box will replace it. Why not just use an MSD distributor? I have 2 of these units and with the box hidden it will look just like a stock points ignition but pack 45KV, accurate to 9000 RPM's and have a rev limiter. Kinda cool.
