I don't see how it could be a "drop-in" because the Digijet FI system has a
coolant temperature sensor that supplies the computer with info about the
warm-up state of the engine. What would you do with this on an air-cooled
engine? There are probably other reasons this won't work very well. There
are easier ways to replace points with non-mechanical pickups. Search the
archives for "Pertronix" for more info.
