Hugh--I have electronic ignition on my 140. I got the Pertronix from this site but I looked around. All that I saw go inside the distributor, keeping the original cap and rotor. A fully computerized ECU with no distributor is possible, but it would require a sensor on the dist. shaft (or flywheel/crank) and an ignition module to substitute for the rotor and advance mechanism.

I bet on spray-painted plastic looking like metal. Debi--a picture, please?
