I used the Mallory one, Everything is built in, kinda like a uni-lite, but has the magnetic pickup instead. I bought mine remanufacured off Ebay, but I think Jegs, or Summitt sells them.

The Jegs description says "utilizes Hall effect triggering". Is there an option for magnetic triggering?

I believe the stock Merc coil will work, I replaced mi dist. because some idiot had put an automotive HEI in there, and I did not have a coil, so I just bought a stock replacement accell coil.
