The "Spitfire" is a high-voltage ignition system put on OMC hi-performance Cobra sterndrive motors. They were EEPROM controlled computer ignitions and coils that failed spectacularly, repeatedly.
There are several aftermarket replacement systems that can be used to replace the Spitfire with a standard distributor type.
