There are ratio adjusters for this sort of thing. Maybe someone should
look into that. It would be much easier to have a couple of custom
cables made than to redesign and retool a distributor.

Excuse me if I'm asking something that's already been stated many times,
but I haven't been following this thread till now.

What is the TR6 tach ratio? The Mallory is obviously 1:1.
