My 1979 GS is still waiting for me to sew the new upholstery and door panels.
I have a 1985 electronic distributor to swap onto my '79 in place of the dual points distributor. I have an Accel GM type coil with two high tension outlets to use for a direct fire ignition on the leading plugs.
It looks like if I extend the mount in the distributor up about 3/4 of and inch (20 mm) I could mount two pickups above the level of the stock reluctor and 90 degrees apart. I would then add an additional two lobe reluctor to fire the trailing plugs alternately through the stock two coils remounted to the drivers side strut tower. This should give me direct fire on all plugs with less than a foot ( 30 cm) long plug wires. I hope the result will be that all spark energy will be expended at the plug gap.
Any discussion is welcome.
