Hello, can I get many opinions on installing electronic ignition on 914s?

My luck with Pertronix is not good, so I can't recommend them. I know others have had good service life, but I guess I'm the exception. If you are dead set on a electronic ignition and have deep pockets then get Ignition 123, next choice would be the XR700.
Another way to go is to use the stock points to trigger a CDI Box (like a 914-6 or 911) but unless you have the CDI and correct ignition transformer (coil) it's expensive. In this set up the points are just a trigger for the ignition and carries no high voltage, so points hold up much longer. |
