bypassing trigger points

[tom in nh]

Hi to all,
I am an unfortunate poor soul that is stuck with a 1973 450 SE that needs trigger points. Forget about cleaning them - the rubbing blocks are worn...so is the rest of the car. So, instead of shelling out precious greenbacks to the greedy parts vendors - I am considering bypassing the trigger point setup.
While a Crane or Pertronix is great for the ignition point end of the spectrum - it does nothing for the fuel injectors side as you fine folks already know.
Here is my idea - how about using the the pickup signals from the the ignition end of the distributor (using the modified Crane or Pertronix setup) to accurately time the injectors? Some modifications would obviously be needed - wiring, etc. Sounds pretty straightfoward.
I am more than happy to use my vehicle as a donor if this end to the trigger points nusiance is gone from all suffering souls of this German design flaw. Now let's put our heads together and make this work.
Input greatly appreciated.

Best regards to all,
Tom
