Gentle people,
I can't stand itany longer. Haven't you folks figured out that you're
adding an unnecessary complexity to these cars by installing an
electronic ignition? If you would take the money that you spend on
these things and apply it to a rehab of your original distributor,
wouldn't you be ahead, considering both economics and performance?
Standing by for flames from the offended parties....
