As you can see from the picture, the top box is a chrome box which I purchased from Direct Connection through my local dealer. The bottom, black/gold ignition box is one I acquired along with other desirable parts about 20 years ago. Is anyone able to help identify this second box as an aftermarket high performance or stock box? I cross referenced the # and could not find anything. The person who originally purchased it can�t recall if he got it from the regular parts department at the dealership or ordered it through Direct Connection. He purchased this box in the early 80's. 7422484-Ignitionboxes.jpg (182 downloads)

FYI...the Chrome box (top) with the 5 pin was how they came back in the day. I purchased this Chrome Box new from through the dealer and the Direct Connection program in 1980.
