    Don't forget about the Ford.

    I'm using Ford Duraspark Ignition.

    Been pretty reliable. Only had a problem with it once in 5 years. It was only about 40 bucks to fix it and parts are available at Auto Zone.

    Did they correct the sandbagger rule to reflect the match is lost if you break out not just that round? That's been in error for 2 years.

    the Cranes with the rev limiter are notorious for coming in early..... as much as 500 RPM early.

    Optional in 71 standard by 72 (I think).

    Seth was correct, Mopar electronic ignition was optional in late 71' then became standard on all mopars in 72'

    So does this mean I have to swap my factory electronic conversion kit out (which has been in the car since at least 1996) and swap to points and condensor ignition?? It's not like it's a MSD system. It is 1970's technology at its best (worst?). :error:
    What do I do??

    Same as I had to do with my production1970 W31 intake on my 1968 W31. No performance improvement...but rules are rules.

    Bet yours doesn't cost you upwards of $4k, though.

    Oh wait, I think I like this rule change, especially since I just happen to have a correct & complete TI set-up for a ZL1 AND a the 71 LS6 Vette. My cars aren't complete yet so maybe I could rent them on a daily basis?:dollar: :dollar:
