Dave,
I have the expensive, but awesome Stinger S4 with a magnetic pick-up.  It's
nice.  I never think about distributors anymore.  I'm not sure anybody
really needs one though.

Eug,
'71
got my 78 x 90.5 running

PS for people interested in exotica, I am now using a high speed exhaust
analyser and it is _way_ cool.  I get an instant readout of rich or lean
mixture, if I had this six or seven engines ago (not all mine) I would have
saved at least a couple of those engines.  It is really helpful, and I think
will enable me to get the most life out of this engine.
