It runs !!!!! mickey mouse engineering prevails :), Mallory Dizzy AND D-Jet working together Options

[Mueller]

Background:

For the stock D-Jet, the ECU gets the signal to fire the injectors from a set of mechanical breaker points inside the base of the distributor. There is nothing wrong with the factory method except for the fact that if you want to run the D-Jet injection, you have to keep the factory distributor...not anymore (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I have successfully been able to electronicly trigger the ECU from a pair of optical sensors inside of the billet Mallory distributor....so far I have only put a few miles onto the car with this setup and I don't know how it'll work when the temperature is much higher (currently it is 45° outside.....)

it's ugly right now, but give me some time to clean it up... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

So for my ignition, I have the Mallory distributor, accel coil and new 8.5mm plug wires....starts right up and idles fine, but I might install a CDI box anyways...

Make one that fits in the stock distributor and includes your own electronic points and sell it for less than Pertronix + Trigger points. Should be easy at $150+ to replace both those items. I know I'd recommend it to anyone who is replacing points with a Pertronix. I can't imagine that the electronic points could be that hard to replicate.

Actually, I've been working on that. It's not hard to replace the electronic points, but it's pretty difficult to have it all fit in the dizzy and still be DIY. You have to go to all surface-mount parts to get them small enough, and soldering those to a board is difficult even if you have lots of practice, and nearly impossible if you've never soldered before. Even the new MS-II stuff, which will be surface mount, will come only as a complete manufactured board, not as a kit.
