You already have an 'electronic ignition'. That phrase was originally coined to describe how the pick-up inside the distributor worked, which signified whether the ignition was breakerless (the points being the breaker type) or not.
However, modern ignitions can be even more 'electronic'. There is no real need of a distributor hence the DIS (Distributorless Ignition System). Such systems typically use a crank trigger and the onboard CPU to direct primary sparks to secondary coil packs for each cylinder.
