you would either need new managment to keep running the coil pack,or you could change to an adjustable dizzy setup then just get some sort of rev limiter fitted.

what you need to find is a nova or a mk2 astra with the dizzy setup on(same engine just different ingition setup)and swap it all on to yours,you will need a coil also.

yeh as long as you get the dizzy that can be adjusted which should be fitted to an engine that has a carburettor.
