My question: is the interface block (p/n 8870) is a passive or active
one?

May I use a faston male terminal for direct connection?


Thanks


I don't know what kind of salvage yards you have in France, but the coil
packs on the Fords,GM's & Chrysler are plenty adequate for AC use--they
set the plugs at .050 to .060 inches. Get a set of 2 off of a 4 Cyl.
engine--the base is just a mounting point. I built my mag replacement
to be gear driven, uses 2 Ford Magnetic pick-up coils, 2 Chevy Ignition
modules , and a Ford Double coil.

Used electronic units have passed the "Infant Mortality" phase and
should give a long useful life. Jerry--could send pics.
