    Pertronix do a kit for this. Part number is MR-1124 I think. Everything inside the distributor, no boxes or wiring hanging about!

    To change from points to electronic ignition..........now that is the question. The shop that rebuilt my GTC and services my cars insists that making the change is not an improvement for the vintage Ferraris. His argument is that when electronic fails you are dead in the water......and they do fail. He notes that when points start to go you will notice and it won't leave you stranded.

    Then when I talk to other expert technicians they state the benefits of having a stronger spark overwhelms the potential failure issue.

    Still have the points in my oldies.....
