I have a friend who works on hot rods - he has several wealthy customers.

Last summer he worked on a car that cost the owner $70,000 but did not have an emergency brake! My friend added an electric emergency brake.

When a customer wants electronic ignition or already has one, he always sets up a conventional distributor and the parts to install it in place of the EI.

ANY decent mechanic or most old timers (including me) can get a car with a conventional distributor running, abiet perhaps not perfectly, with hand tools.

I beseech you to keep a conventional system and the tools to install it in your trunk.

When an electronic ignition goes dead, your car is toast!
