I'm updating/upgrading my '73Z and hav reached the ignition. It is the stock point type. I've got 2 questions, hopefully someone will be able to answer:
1. I've got a '78 Z engine with it's electronic ignition pointless distributor. I have none of the other parts of the '78. Would upgrading to the electronic unit make any positive change, and if so, what else beside the distributor do I need? Is it worth the trouble?
2. I also have a Jacobs Ignition Omni Pak from a previous car. I've used them with both good and bad luck over the years. Does anyone know if it can be used on an ignition with points? Will it be an improvement? Thanks

We use 79-81 280zx coil, and distributor with ign
module on the side of distributor. Car starts and runs much better. $100.00 for the setup from us.
