The email is in plain text so no idea why the list stripped 
clean.  Will try again.

>Dave,

>Could you please  pass this along. Thanks, Craig

>Fellow TR250/6 Owners,
>
>Would you please answer the following few market research 
>questions.  My son, Kyle, and I are considering developing a kit to 
>install a programmable fully electronic distributor-less ignition 
>for the six cylinder cars and would like to see what if any interest 
>is there.  This would be like the system I put in my six that was 
>featured in the Oct 06  club newsletter.  The system provides the 
>following benefits,
>
>1. Much improved idle quality even idling at 700 rpm.  With a 
>greater tolerance pulling out from a stop.
>
>2. Much hotter spark with plugs at 0.055 gap.  Absolutely no fouling.
>
>3. Programmable ignition advance with a very user friendly PC  program.
>
>4.  More power, especially above 3300 rpm.  (How much, I don't 
>know.  I didn't have access to a dyno)
>
>So, the kit could be configured to be all inclusive with the Ford 
>EDIS pieces (crank sensor, coil pack, and EDIS), the Megajolt box 
>with a preliminary loaded advance curve, a harmonic balancer with a 
>36-1 toothed wheel already mounted, all necessary mounts, a wiring 
>harness, and instructions.  The kit would be fully tested for 
>operation.  The installer would need to swap balancers, remove the 
>existing coil and mount the coil pack,  mount the EDIS and Megajolt, 
>then route and connect the wiring harness.  The existing distributor 
>could remain if wanted.  Everything except the balancer could be 
>returned to stock if desired after installation..
>
>Or the kit could be pared down for a more DIY experience.  Consider 
>that you maybe in the position where you have a worn out 
>distributor.  TRF rebuilt distributor list $299 plus cap $39 plus 
>rotor $6 and a Luminition pointless ignition $99, total $446.
>
>1.  Would you consider this more modern system?
>
>2.  What would be your price point for the all inclusive system 
>(assuming that you would have to give up your current balancer as a core)?
>
>3.  Would you consider a more DIY system?   ie You source the Ford 
>components?  You source the Megajolt box?  You machine the balancer 
>and mount the 36-1 wheel?
>
>4. If a more DIY option is appealing, what would be your price points?
>
>Thanks for doing the survey.  We will let you know how it turns out.
