I was wondering if anyone has succeeded in performing an electronic ignition (vs. point) conversion on the Stout?
I currently have the magnetic pickup from 1978 20R rigged onto an old point plate and set inside the distributor. There are two wires coming from this, one is red, one is white. I assume that the red is the positive lead? (any help would be appreciated). I have these going to the green and yellow lead off from a module I took off an '85 jeep with a 2.8. I may switch this module, as though it is a 4 pin, it doesn't follow the same lettering scheme as most GM modules. The other side is hooked to the positive and the negative sides of the coil (I still need to upgrade this) and I have a jumper wire going from the positive side of this over to a "start" ignition source.
The truck will fire, and lope, but won't stay running. This was my first attempt, so I'll be back at it tomorrow.
Also, I have 3 distributors I am working with. One is a 19100-40023, another is 19100-40024, and the final is a 19100-40025. The 24 is supposed to be the "new" number for the 23, but there are a number of differences, the 25 seems to have characteristics of both. What were the advantages of going to the 24 versus the 23, and what is the 25 for? Thanks.

Toyota may have redesigned something, so that would be one reason for a supercession.
