     We ran the Yenko for a while with a locked advance plate.  At 34
degrees it worked fine.  Race cars normally run "all in" so the only problem
is starting and low speed running.  The fix is a MSD or other electronic
system with programable advance.  It gives much better control of spark
timing.          I wonder if electronic ignition fits the spirit of vintage.
The only electronic ignition we ran prior to '75 or so was a CD unit
actuated by the original dist.
