Technical Electronic Ignition Conversion

[California124Fiat]

What would everyone recommend to convert a 1970 fiat 124 spider to electronic ignition?
Is there another year that will swap right in?
I was looking for the most economical setup to achieve this
thanks!

[/I]It depends a bit on what sort of engine you're running, i.e is it a proper euro spec 1608 with twin carbs and top mounted dissy or some other variant with a block mounted dissy. I know you used to be able to ge a Lumenition electronic conversion for the block mounted dissys (in NZ - not sure about pommy land) You could possibly use the standard Marelli dissy and Ignition pack from a 2.0 131Sport/132 it will fit in the block but there be a slight issue with the advance curve - the little weights and springs inside the dissy. Hope I haven't just confused you more. Cheers Gary
