Niel-

I tried to email you using the BB email setup, but it failed to send it out.

If you're still interested in putting the circuit together for me, please email at:

Thanks-

Paul

BTW-I did a test to see if the Bosch 139 Mod would fail, how easy it would be to set it back to run on the points alone. Pretty easy, disconnect the wire going to the points and Pin 6 of the Bosch unit, and connect the wire directly to (-) side of the coil (I also unplugged the wire from the 139 Mod and the (-) of the coil). To my surprise, the car started right up, but checking the timing, it was about 55-70* advanced?
