84 2.5 Mercruiser HEI swap?

[Erock]

I have an 84 mercruiser with points ignition. Any newer model distributors with HEI that can be swapped (and work properly)? I've looked for conversion kits but I can only find them for V8s.

I have the same engine in my 84' starcraft, but mine is an OMC. I used the pertronix Ignitor II conversion kit and also got the Flamethrower II Coil.

It says in the title that it is an 84 2.5L (That's a 4Cyl) and I am guessing it's an Alpha 1, but the outdrive really doesn't matter...
