Thunderbolt ignition alternative new distributor

[Nhav8r]

I am currently assembling a reman 5.7 and instead of transferring over the old distributor/coil and thunderbolt ignition module I was hoping to get one of the all in one distributors but I’m noticing a lot of distributors saying they aren’t compatible with the alpha drive shift interrupter. Does anyone know of any modern distributors systems that will work with the shift interrupter so I can get rid of the thunderbolt ignition?

It's 'bout the best marine ignition available,......
The Delco EST is another good system,....

I have an omc motor and outdrive that someone hacked in the thunderbolt ignition system. Seeing as I’m assembling a new 350 I just don’t see the logic in using 30+ year old ignition system parts on it.
