I have 3 used pointless ignition modules that came with one of my parts cars or project.
First 2 are Compu-Fire units, one loose in a box of other stuff and one in the distributor on an engine.
3rd is a Pertronix unit that was loose in a box of other stuff.

I don't actually know if any of them work but the engine that one of them is in was supposedly running on mega-squire before it was pulled from the car.
I am looking to put one of these into my 2.0l D-jet engine which is running solid core copper plug wires.

I have no recent experience with pointless ignition in a 914 but there are no points in my engine now and I need something and I have these.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Jim
