Can you ID this pick up coil?

I called Advance and they do not have one in the computer like it. This is the pick up coil off of my 84 GMC Sierra which had a 305 in it originally but now has a small block 400 with HEI...but it was hooked up to truck's factory ESC computer so this coil is bizarre and I cannot find one like it for some reason. I tried an HEI 75-80 small block 400, but they did not have an ESC, then checked the original 305 pick up coil and it too has only 2 pins for plugging in when the one I have has 3...due to the ESC computer. I followed some articles and bypassed the ESC, but only in a way that I was able to keep my old distributor and not have to swap this one out. Doing so may have helped eliminate future problems like no spark, but now I am stuck and cannot find this pick up coil at all? Anyone with a 84 or so 305 with HEI able to check for me. I do not have a book on this truck or I would be able to look for a photo in the ignition section. Thanks for any help. Here is the photo of the mistery pick up coil in my truck. I did not do the engine swap in this truck, so I have no clue what the person did or used as an HEI since its a 72 engine and that did not have HEI. So what they did, I have no clue. Thanks

Thanks! I felt like an idiot asking, but I have tried all the parts stores and they keep handing me the same thing for an 84 and it was not the same. I dont have an Auto Zone so I did not even think to ask them. The closest one to me is about 25 minutes, but if they are the only ones who have it...so be it. I thought I was going crazy. Thanks again!!!

Just cross reference the Auto Zone # to who ever you go to.

LOL Yeah Same Part, manufactured at the same plant,Different box,different supplier name, and numbers
Buddy84GMC, sounds like the previous owner swapped the Stock '84 305 HEI onto the earlier engine....
