Best Answer

No, electronic ignition uses a sensor in the engine shaft that determines the pulses. This omits the distributor in exchange for electrical control.

You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.
