extremely reliable. That`s my job to promote these electronical systems. My

the 50s/60s and can control and dominate it. That gives me my satisfaction
driving a Healey or other classic car. But I am happy to sell as much
electronic equipment I can. Electtronic ignitions are superior definitely, but
