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)

If I decide to swap to Carbs later in my quest for more power I would need to go to a Unitlite or similar correct?


You don't "have" to get a new distributor, but if you want to maximize the potential of the engine, then yes, it would be a good idea.

If Fiids circuit works as planned, you can get an MSD or Mallory distributor right away.
My design worked, but it's not as robust and easy to install as it should be.....
