Yes this is the first time I have heared of somebobody trying this.
Besides, last time I was standing in Mykal's shop there was a little
pile of flywheel pickups that ther labelled "bad" So I would not be
surprised if using the TP45 is not replacing the unreliable part anyway.
The Twin TP 45 system builds two subaru pickups into the distributor,
each of which drive a TP 45 (same as the GM 4 pin module).
Of course you need a second pickup. I happen to have one if you need it.

Hi Hugh,
I looked at my ignition this evening and find three wires red black and
green coming from the pickup to a plug connected with the solid state
module that goes with the flywheel pickup. From it, two wires red and
black come from the solid state box to my B coil, red to the black with
white stripe coil wire and the black going to the blue coil wire. I'm
not sure that you could use the TP45 in replacement of the solid state
box provided by Stratus.

The pickup in the distributor is a 2 wire magnetic pickup and generates
it's output when a metal surface passes by.
The flywheel pickup on the other hand is I believe a Hall Effect pickup and
requires power and needs a magnet to pass by to give an output. Seems to me
that if you get power to the pickup (+12 to the red wire) and wire the
black & white wires to the TP45, it may work.
I have not tried this as I have my TP45 wired to my distributor pickup.
Regards,
Bill

Thanks to everyone for the responses so far.
Is the second pick-up people are putting in the distributor the same as the
original (i.e. something I can pick-up at NAPA)?
Also, is the second pick-up easily installed in place of the original
ignition module, or is there some mechanical work that needs to be done?
I am some what reluctant to replace the primary ignition since it has been
running fine for years, hence my trying to get the TP-45 working with the
existing flywheel pick-up. However, I am not exactly sure what part of the
secondary ignition is actually causing the problem. If a second pick-up
installs easily in the distributor, then I guess that might be the simplest
path.
Thanks, Hugh
