Points to electronic ignition on a pinto
I wondered how much of an advantage is there to changing from points to electronic ignition.
Will the distributer from a later model sierra fit a cortina engine and what other parts will i need.
On other threads there seem to be problems with the vacuum advance retard mechanism when using twin Dellorto/Webers,is there a method of controlling
this electronicaly.

That diagram should be realy usefull.
Is the drive for the dizzy the same so they can be easily swapped so all i have to do is swap the amplifier and wire it in to the ignition circuit
with an electronic type coil.
It seems too simple,but its about time something was.

distributors
yes the drives are the same
i have also read a old post on here that said the 1.6 pinto distributor has a faster advance curve that suits modified pintos
better
if you have loads of money the luminition is the best
all the best dave blissett
