	I have a 1971 240Z which has a standard ignition. I am not satisfied
with the spark output and would like to upgrade this system to an electronic
ignition.  Because the tachometer is in series with the high tension coil, I am
reluctant to use an optical system ( I tried that once with very poor results).
Other systems are the 
	1) Magnetic Induction systems
	2) Standard capacitive discharge
	3) MSD which is a capacitive discharge system which
	distributes additional sparks during the expansion phase of
	the cycle (they claim the additional sparks, 25 degrees
	worth, causes more complete combustion and increases power -
	this claim I have trouble believing).

Has anyone had any experience with any of these systems and does anyone have
any recommendations.
