There is a better way to do electronic ignition- - - -the General Motors HEI system that was used on mid-1980's and newer 250 and 292 inline sixes can be adapted to stovebolt engines with just a little machining on the housing to make sure the oil pump drive engages properly, as long as you also have a 12 volt electrical system. There was a huge amount of research and development done by GM before introducing that system, it was in use for several years, and virtually every local parts store carries repair parts for the factory HEI system. The distributor housing doesn't look original, but it actually works, and GM designed it to be idiot-proof, even if the ignition switch is left on accidentally. The signal amplifier that replaces the points in a HEI system doesn't begin to flow any current until it senses a signal generated by the reluctor as the distributor begins to turn as the engine is cranked.
