Electronic ignition

[bcgreen]

Anyone done a conversion on their 911 MFI to electronic ignition. I was thinking about it, since I had done one to my '68 Charger in the early 70s.
I just wish all the wiring and black box could be all contained within the distributor, perhaps we will get to that point one day.

Show me. I haven't seen the whole system encased in the distributor. The system is still the same as when it first came out.

I wonder if there is such a thing as the Vertex Mag for Porsches?
That would be a self contained system...only one wire needed for control (kill switch) and reliable if the magnets are serviced yearly.
They have been used on Harleys for decades...but they are only 2 cylinders.
I am not sure if the mag would generate enough power to do 6 plugs.

Is the control box contained within the distributor?

Do you mean like a mallory unilite or something of that nature? Are you trying to clean up the engine bay, what are you after?

When I did a conversion on my mopar, you had a separate ignition control unit (black box) mounted on the firewall, a new distributor and wiring. That was the kit. Maybe I am not seeing the right Petronix, but the control unit is still separate.
What I am after is a electronic ignition, where everything is self contained within the distributor. So to the untrained eye, you would not know, or could not tell, that it was electronic ignition. There was no separate control unit.
This is exactly the unit I used in the 70s
