Looking for an outfit or person who could restore an old Motion Phase III ignition box.

Anyone currently running one on one of their MP cars?

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, does it wire up like a regular MSD box? If so, I know what I would do...

You thinking it's an early MSD box, Don?

I think the Phase III box was made by Delta...??? I usually see them without the Phase III stickers.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

What kind of box is the gold finned one? I ask because I have one pulled out of an original owner 70 LS6.
Sorry for the hijack. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The gold finned box is the later model of the Phase III box

Dan, that PhaseIII box is similar to the MSD hook-up...
Yellow--neg/coil,White--pos/coil--you need the plastic extenders used on the coil connections to isolate the green wire hook-up sending PhaseIII signal to Dist.Red is positive from bat. to plastic extender(on pos coil connection-power to PhaseIII unit) Since you need reliable spark, why don't you just hide an MSD unit(glove comp) and mount the PhaseIII unit .Unless you can find someone to stuff fresh eletronic components into your unit.....

That's what I was thinking, Joe...either hide an MSD somewhere else and let the PIII unit just be along for the ride, or gut the PIII and stuff a 6AL box into it...why go through all the trouble to do everything else right but let that box hold it all back?

Right Rob,I when crazy back and forth with Mallory trying to update my CD box, In the end I just stuck an MSD on my car painted it black and stuck an old Mallory sticker on it but I'm gonna hide the MSD box and just mount the Mallory CD box---You want/need reliable spark......
