Upgrading classic Ferraris and the like with electronic ignition

For all y'all peeps who have just been burning to know how you can fit an electronic ignition system to your 60s era Ferrari and other autos of the points, breaker, condenser era, I'm here to help:

The graphic refers to V8s but down below they have info for all the Ferrari buffs here. Turns out you can get more current, aka heat, to the plugs at high RPM with the electronic system. Not sure what they cost but hey, for my near million dollar Ferrari, gonna get it. Like the policy used to be (likely still is) at Canlis Restaurant in Seattle: 'No prices on the menu; if you have to ask, you can't afford it.'
