Under the category of "Spare Parts", I have run across an ignition module made by BWD (reasonably good products). It was in a local auto parts store out on the counter and so I grabbed it.
Now, I fully admit that I have never been able to get any real use from the Forum Search function... just never seems to return what I think I should see... but beside the points of my ineptitude... I apologize up front if this s a double post!
As the internet has high amounts of talk regarding this (and similar modules from Summit and Pertronix)... I have been unable to locate any ACTUAL USABLE cross reference to these parts from what is a standard GM 466 module. This GM module appears in most all Lucas HEI systems. As usual, the auto parts supply houses that cross reference even toaster parts with the most obscure American cars, offer totally incomplete listings for British and other European rides... this part can be found on a number of MG, Triumph, and Jensen models.
But at any rate, this:
BWD Select CBE4 - Ignition Control Module | O'Reilly Auto Parts
...is the same as the GM 466 those of us with Lucas HEI systems will find in our AB14 Ignition modules. So should you need one - or like me you have started some sort of hoarding process regarding spares - you can pick one up at O'Riley or Autozone. However... do NOT expect the parts counter guy to be able to help you much as they will ask... "what car is gong on?" and then proceed to tell you they do not have this part.
O'Riley is a bit better in my area as hey at least seem to be able to get something by a part number.
