Re: [MarcosManiacs] Conversion to pointless ignition

2007-05-16 by Bob Magnotti

Richard,

Thanks, that is exactly what I needed to know.  I am
upgrading the radiator, ignition and carbs on my car. 
Trying to get it ready for a trip to Watkins Glenn,
NY.  Going to have a chance to take the car on the
track at the Vintage CanAm in September.

Really do not want to be fooling around with fine
tuning points at that time.  Now all I need to do is
decide between Illumination, Ignitor or Crane.

Thanks again for all the information.
