Transistorized Ignitions (TI) also known as Delcotron Transistor Control Magnetic Pulse Ignition Systems, were available from the factory under RPO K66 in 1964-1971 for both small and big blocks. After, these systems could be bought as an over-the-counter part from GM dealerships. These special transistor-controlled ignition systems were developed for high-performance and racing use to replace the traditional point-fired ignition system that came as standard on most vehicles. Replaced with the HEI optional distributors in 1975, these transistorized ignition systems were used as the standard-duty high-performance Chevrolet ignition systems. TI systems work by overcoming the common problems points style ignition systems have at high RPM. At higher RPM, points systems can bounce unless replaced with a high tension point set, limiting the rev capability of the motor. Replacing the factory points, high tension points often wore the rubbing guide block at a faster rate, resulting in increase dwell and retarded spark. The problem became critical when used on endurance type events such as NASCAR or Trans Am racing, TI systems over came both problems, creating a reliable ignition system up to 10,000 RPM or more. To identify if you have a TI system in your car, look for a finned amplifier box and bracket, magnetic pulse distributor and special wiring harness.
