[DeTomaso] Electronic ignition

[michael frazier]

Look inside the distributor from inside the car.  You may have a Pertronix kit...Nothing wrong with that for a street car, even a very strong street car.  I have used a Dura Spark on some pretty starchy engines with no problems.  I'm sure the stock exhaust is replaced by now.  If it has 4 straight round mufflers at back, it has a Hall or Big Throats(?) exhaust.  If it has one square can on each side, it's stock.  If the square cans have braces from the inlet and two exhaust tips to the body, it's a GTS unit...maybe the headers too.  A 650cfm carb is OK too depending on what's inside the engine.  Get to know it a little better and you may find you don't need to change anything.
Any corrections, additions or deletions from the members?
