Electronic ignition is the same whether you have carbs or not, just use the same ignition stuff off a V6 sierra/capri etc, that's electronic.

Try and get the whole wiring loom from a 2.8i with amp and and fuel pump relay e.t.c.
Also fuel tank as you will have to fit a fuel return pipe as well.
If you have access to a 2.8i being stripped,just try and get everything attached to the wiring loom.
Shouldn't be to hard then !
