done a quick search but couldnt find anything specific enough...
is there any model car out there i can poach an electric distributor from with out too many mods to get rid of the points style dizzy in my '88 swb GQ
any other tips on getting that "lil bit more" without spending up big on my near stock patrol? (ie cam, carby maybe even efi upgrade but thats starting to cost)
Cheers
Simon

What engine do you have? L28? Read up on some Z boards if so, I know they've got some info on L-series upgrades. Here's one link I've stashed:

i did full efi conversion for under $500
don't bother with any lessor setups for similar $$$
if you are desperate get an electronic ignition kit for under $100 from dick heads or jaycar. still uses you points - just without the high loads at the points.

Pirana kits good value at around $280, I killed mine with a good splashing inside the engine bay, so went to a Crane Fireball kit & High Energy Coil inside a weatherproof box.
Search back a bit under Nissan & Auto electrics for heaps of threads on GQ Electronic Ignition.

its the tb42 not the L... i`m fairly familiar with these coming from a datsun background.
bru21 - a full efi conversion for $500? how much manufacturing of stuff and tuning did it involve... i`d be keen to learn more
