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.
