Digital contact breaker and timing advance eliminator

[HADJIASLANIS ARIS 1260 800]

Hi there,

could some body help. A first step to efi is surely a good intelligent
ignition system. Especially with regard to old engines in classic cars,
where the above can be applied expertly to preserve the ´original´
engine bay looks. The benefits to be had from such an approach are
important, and definitely very considerable in the case of highly tuned
old engines.

So how about a digital ignition system for my Fiat Dino 1971 2.4 litre
V6 engine (a Ferrari engine) currently on its original antiquated
Magnetti Marelli twin points (!) distributor (to cope with the 8000 odd
RPMs this engine is capable of), complete with original (read, horrible)
centrifugal advance mechanism.

The requirements are relatively simple:
1. Replace the existing twin contact breakers with an optical pick up
arranged to fire every 60 degrees.
2. Disable the original advance / retard mechanism.
3. Feed the optical pick up output to a digital advance / retard unit
implementing a simple, programmable advance curve capable of at least 16
sites.
4. Optionally add an imput for a detonation sensor to provide a few
degrees of detonation induced retard.
5. The unit should just provide an output emulating a normal contact
breaker, to drive a separate high energy electronic ignition unit
(already fitted in my car).

Your replies will be highly appreciated

Regards,

Aris
