I had a hei in it but casing is broken, so i took a points dizzy and went magnetic trigger, module is behind the coil.
Color is *ord tractor blue, just one of those colors where black, or silver or white works good with it.

OK. I get it. I had a Pertronix set up on my 292 for a while, but it would not tolerate the high [100*F+] Arizona summer heat. After running fine for years, all of a sudden, the whole system would black out over 3000 RPM/65 MPH. It would then be coldcranking down the freeway, until I shut off the Ignition, cut it back on, and pop started in 3rd or 4th gear.
I was so p!ssed I ran points for a year. Then I got a couple remote coil HEI distributor caps on ebay, and I was able to put an HEI distributor together.
GM had a similar light blue, called Corporate Blue.
