Where are my breaker points or Is this an electronic/magneto

Post by bobotech »

75 GT550 built 11/74, I am confused. I took what I thought was the breaker point cover on the left side of the but I don't see any breaker points. Looks like electronic ignition to me but maybe I just haven't taken the cover off yet.

Am I just not looking in the right place?

And, thankfully for you, it's the high output Nippon Denso alternator and not the low output Kokusan setup. :up:
