Take a look at David Riker's post from Wednesday afternoon, that may be
some help.
There were two different kinds of Lucas Electronic ignitions, one with

version). If yours has a big rectangular box that the vacuum capsule is
part of, then it's the earlier version.
David R.- Which kind do you have and use the GM module for?
