you could just take a ignition cylinder you already have make sure its the same one and unplug the wires from the current one and plug them into yours, what are you gonna do with it?

If the ignition box is a blue grommet one, the wire that goes to the other small pole(red/blk) is the start sequence of the ignition. But the one wire that you will need to power for the rest of the box to work is a white wire. I had to go over some diagrams on this because it's kinda fuzzy since I last hot wired an ignition system... I used the blue box, dizzy, and coil to fire my tennis ball cannon. It has 12 sparkplugs and some are jumped to others for double fire. Wind string around dist gear and pull to rotate it after giving the system juice... Much flame and bang is had.
