Alternative to a distributor for Accel DFI
What alternatives are there to a distributor type ignition when using an Accel DFI (7.0 maybe) setup? I'm not going to have room on my intake manifold for a regular sized distributor, and rather than buy a mini sized distrib for $300, I was thinking for the same price there might be a coil pack / cam sensor setup to look around for? Any ideas?
From the DFI Gen 7.0 online help,
Here is a partial list of ignition setups that the DFI Gen 7 is known to work with.
GM (HEI), High Energy Ignition
Universal (IPU), Inductive Pickup
Universal (IPU) with cam sync signal
Universal (HE), Hall Effect
Universal Hall Effect with cam sync
GM (LT1) with opti-spark
Ford (TFI), Thick Film Ignition
Honda VTEC, (IPU distributor)
Buick GN V6,DIS, coil packs
Universal Crank Trigger (includes Flying Magnet, Flying Lug)
Universal Hall Effect Crank Trigger
EDIS Compatible
Dual Sync DFI Distributor (Hall Effect)
Hope this helps.
