I need ignition with built in advance (1995 zx600r/gpx600r)

My Kawasaki 600r has electronic ignition. It is a pair of hall effect sensors that feed an ignitor. The ignitor handles all of the timing advance. New ones are not available,  and I hesitate buying used. I've tried a few things to replace it with something new, like this https://s3.amazonaws.com/gpzweb/Ignition/GPZgmHEImod.html which worked, but there is no spark advance, I took the Power-Arc ignition off my 750 and adapted it to the Kaw and it worked, but it doesn't fit under the cover. Last night I bolted on a spare Honda cb750 points plate, which fit, but I think the hole in the end of the crankshaft is in the wrong spot, plus it's too tall to fit under the timing cover anyway.

So, I am looking for something that would have spark advance and allow use of the timing cover. Maybe a pair of those cheap little minibike CDI boxes?

If you don't mind doing a little wiring work, Ignitech.

I'll look into that.

Right now I've got the gm hei modules hooked up, and it's running on three cylinders, so I'm going to have to pull the carbs. That's such a pain on this bike.
