email the pics to yourself which will ask you to reduce them....reduce to 25%

then they will be small enough to post.

This is the extent of what i have. I believe it was from a boat that was either storm or winter damaged then parted out after a season or so. Still looks new. None of the parts in this box go ttogether. From Bennett trim tab motor to single bbl carb to this, just random parts.

what makes you think electronics are better? Points are very simple to service

Points are a pita compared to solid-state. Keep an ignition module and a coil in your glove box, you're covered. No need for feeler gauges, fingernail file, 100 dollar bill or dwelll. Set your timing and forget it. Hotter spark, less maintaince.

if this isn't the hei or marine equivalent ( maybe this is thunder bolt?) And requires the pricey little computer I'm gonna toss it on eBay or a hard sale. Ill replace my points before spending 300 on a dizzy, i was only going to upgrade if i only needed a few simple parts.

Ayuh,...... It appears ya got an '80s, or '90s T-Bolt distributor,......

An important part, but yer missin' to much of the System, for economical use,....

Guessin' a brand new Delco Voyager would be cheaper,....
