Yes it will
Read an article about a gassed 4.2 that used the injection manifold, cam and dissy.
Made good power, have you considered a pirahna opticle electronic ignition? (fits where the points were)

Hi Wayne,

There are a number of aftermarket electronic ignition sources available, such as the ones mentioned above which introduce an electronic control unit into your ignition system, and replace your points with any of a few different trigger systems, such as optical, or magnetic types....

I can't speak for the performance of these units, as I've never tried them, but I built an electronic ignition kit for my '90 Maverick TB42 with a kit available form either Jaycar or Dick Smith....works very well - noticeably smoother acceleration through the rev range thanks to the extended dwell angle, economy improved by a couple of lt/100kms also.....

The nice thing about the kit is that it retains the simplicity of the points as a trigger mechanism - rather than using them as a current source, they send a very low current trigger to the electronic control box - and the box does all the work. The points will last a very long time in this state, and the setting of the points is no longer critical. IF, and it is very unlikely, ....but IF the control box ever broke down with this system, the box can be bypassed back to the original points in a very short time whilst in the bush to get you home - something that an optical or hall effect sensor type of electronic ignition cannot offer......if they stuff up - your stuck :-)

One of the best ignition systems ever made was fited to the nissan blue bird. It is only 4 cylinder but with the rotor and cap from the Bosh comodore or similar you can get a very good set up for little money, Eric.
