electronic ignition

Post by shakes »

I've got a '88 GQ shorty on gas with the old points dizzy.

an someone point me in the general direction of either an electronic distrubitor + coil thats close to a straight swap to suit or a nice aftermarket kit and why.

I've done a couple of search's and come up with nothing all that specific except people seem to like the pirahna stuff around here, why? any relevant costs or links to topics would be great

Thanks

Simon

Crane has one more expensive. Pertronix has one for less. Take your pick. I'd pick Pertronix unless hipo engine, go Crane. Coil? Mines a Bosch GT40RT. Good enough for stock. The sky's the limit!

Pirahana kit is easier to fit and designed specifically for the TB42, Crane kit is universal and takes a bit of lateral thinking but performs great at higher rpm 5000-6500.
