123ignition to signal ecu?, or do I need a cranck trigger? Options

[barkamatic]

Purchased a 123 ignition for a D-Jet but due to the difficulty of finding D-Jet parts I have decided to go with an aftermarket system. Probably a silly question, but could I use the FI firing triggers from the distributor for a crank position signal? Thanks in advance.

I agree 100% with @jeffbowlsby about the downsides of having a unique custom EFI on a car you might want to sell later… It will make it more difficult to sell and probably for a lower price as the person who buys it will probably want to reconvert it to something that is understandable and serviceable by more people. Otherwise you will be looking for a unique buyer who is interested in taking over your “project”.

With all due respect, evidently our reasons for ownership run along different lines. I am retired and crossword puzzles bore me. I love a challenge, especially when it's technical and I can drive it when I'm done. As far as resale value, I could not care less. When the next owner acquires the car I will probably be dead. Where I live there is not a tuner within at least 150 miles. The fact that I will be tuning it myself by typing into a keyboard is very appealing to me. I didn't mean to take up your time. I was simply hoping that someone could give me an answer as to the output signal of a 123 distributor and the input signal for a stock ecu. Thanks for your time.
