Heat and age typically kills the components. Unless you have a stash of new parts, you'll likely run into the same problems.
Personally, I'd go with a Ford EDIS distributorless system controlled by a MegaSquirt computer (it will also do fuel injection, but it is easier to start with ignition only) Plus it is cheap and easy. However, this site should give you some other ideas: http://www.surpluselectron.com/aaron/mods.htm Searching the archives for the various mailing lists and forums can also lead to a bunch of other ideas as well. Sounds like fun, good luck!

The cars are supposed to be close to stock. Mostly the winners are Acura Integras and such. Once in a while, a Neon shows up and usually wins until it breaks. Some even last for three races. We have laying around the yard, a couple of "L" bodies and a good 2.2 short block, a good cylinder head, an aftermarket cam (don't know which yet) and a 500 CFM Holley 2- barrel. We think if we add a rollcage and some shaved Toyos, we might run with the pack. One area of concern is ignition. We seem to have a high number of ignition failures with these cars. Usually some spark control computer, relay, or hall effect. What ignition do you guys think would be good for this kind of use? Stock distributor? MSD? Combination? Is there any way to replace the whole stock system with an aftermarket one? Any other suggestion welcome. We are far from experts. More like weekend warriors.
