Electronic Ignition, who's running what, with what engine? Options

[tnorthern]

I know a lot of guys are running electronic ignition in their cars but what are they running 'em with...

Right now I have a stock 2.0 rebuilt about 2k miles and 6years ago. I want to switch to electronic ignition with the ability to upgrade as I put more money into the motor.

Ultimately I would like to maintain Sunday drive reliabity while boosting horse power in the long run, most likely with a bigger type 4 engine. Resale value is not a huge issue for me since I have no real plans to sell the car in the future...

THIS time I am asking for advice so let the opinions fly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

stock 2.0??

your options are:

replace points with pertronix or crane electronic trigger...no HP gain, just no need to set point gap and dwell, some people report smoother running engines...do a search on these, some people love thier pertronix, others think they are junk

a new or hotter coil*

new wires, stock or megabux types are available

then you can add a CDI box (mallory or MSD or whoever you want), this supposed* to help at idle and low rpms

any of these items are reversable so it will not affect the car being stock or not later on down the road......

*I have no real world experiance with these boxes

if you go with a bigger motor, then more than likely you'll not be able to run the stock FI, then you can do crankfire or install a MSD or Mallory distributor
