Ignition upgrade

This will be difficult, because the 7M-GTE engine your spec-ing is a distributor-less coil-pak design. Most MSD products are for distributor-type ignitions or DIS-type ignitions for GMs and Fords. You could probably use thier product on a Toyota, but would need to do the engineering yourself. Basically matching up an MSD product to fit your application. They don't seem to have any Toyota-designed products.

The coil-pak design for the 7M-GTE uses a wasted spark system, meaning there are 3 coils, and they fire two spark plugs at a time. Any of the 4-channel DIS modules should be adaptable to the Toyota system by just enabling 3 channels and figuring out the wiring yourself. Get a TRSM and the manual for the DIS module you want to use, and see if your Toyota has the necessary inputs for the module, and the module has the required control feedback for the Toyota ECM.
