I have a 1963 Triumph Spitfire and it has points and condenser, but I want to swap it with...?

I have a 1963 Triumph Spitfire and it has points and condenser. Is there an electronic ignition control module/unit that I can use instead of using the standard points and condenser? Or can I use a different distributor from a later model Triumph so I can use the ignition control module/unit?





Thank you for any help.|||Petronix sells stand alone ignition systems, and also a magnetic pick up that will fit inside the original distributer cap, replacing the points and condenser. I put the magnetic pick up in my '73 pontiac, and it has run great since. I still need to replace the rotor and cap every other year. If you go with the part that fits inside your distr. cap you keep the original stock look, but you'll have to call them to see if they make it for a Triumph.|||used to be a kit that would turn the points into a switch turning the coil on and off//some type of transistor//now with micro chips the new type of kit may be out//then you dont have to fool with the dist
