Hi Don,

I could supply you something like that.
I have all the parts to make/convert a dino ignition to a 'programmable' MSD electronic ignition system. With this system you have a magnetic pickup instead of the breaker points, and the ignition box to control the advance. So there will be no more weights and springs and other moving parts inside the distributor.
Even for purists it would be possible to build all of it inside a Dinoplex case, but it's not a must.

And some more detailed information about it:

You may only replace the Dinoplex and coil by an MSD 6A. This works fine, but you still have the distributor. A bit better than the MSD would be the Winterburn ignition. This is the one that is closest to the Dinoplex regarding the output. If you want to get rid of the points by converting the distributor using a kit.
