Thanks. I'm definately interested. Will get myself a second distributor to play with and modify while keeping my car running. I'm going for fabricating a photo interrupter, so do not have the problem of the cap and rotor out of sync. Might even go further and go for something similar to coil-on-plug setup. Or waisted spark.

I'm also playing with the idea of half of the time running on a spark of opposite polarity. So if you look at only 1 cylinder, you first get a positive spark and then a negative spark. My theory is that this should reduce buildup somewhat, becuase every time the current flows in an opposite direction. Only a thought, and I have not spent much time on it, but it kind of sounds like the theory might work sort of exactly precisely opposite running out of word...

Yes, there are a handful of electronics guys on this forum and please keep the updates coming! My car is running 2 Strombergs, but I've got an FI head for building an MS controller. Just realised from a recent post that I'll also need an extractor (is that the thing that I would call exhaust manifold?). My carb manifold is joined to the exhaust manifold, and I'm not going to cut it...

Have fun...
