If not 123, another good choice is Supertec distributor that I think Aaron Burnham designed? Research those threads here; good design and old school. I am assuming you’re doing 2.5 twin plug but believe they have single plug too.

Choice for twin plug after 123 and Supertec would be JB racing twin plug which performs good but lacks the old school look of Supertec one.

We did a new design after Aaron stopped building them.

To my surprise…..Seems i am starting to be swayed to 123 ignition .
Seems Henry has some positive thoughts as well
Looks like they have now packaged the ignition, coil, wire set and spark plugs.
Described to be for 2.4,2.7 engines.
Assume all to be compatible rather than worrying about compatibility of mixing original components.
Has anyone used their integrated package?

They are also made by Mittlemotor (using 123 internals it appears) and are available through Sierra Madre as well. It’s hard to find them listed on the SM site though (no affiliation). I only bring it up because, occasionally, SM has really good coupon code and you can save a fair amount on one. I like the Mittlemotor version because it looks very similar to an original Marelli twin plug distributor so it looks better in my opinion. They can also be used with stock CDI boxes and coils.

I picked mine up a few months ago (on a 20 or 25 percent off coupon) although the engine is still being built so I don’t have any additional feedback.
