CDI kit, uses either points or the above setup, gives out more powerful spark (Tiger and Lumenition I think) 3. MSD or equivalent "BOX" that does the same as above but offers features like adjustable rev limiter, multiple spark etc. (MSD, Crane Cams) 4. Programmable ignition that uses some or all of the above and can be programmed with a laptop, and is often used with other engine management systems like programmable fuel injection etc. (Motec, Hestec, many others) Jan |

Have points in there now but will probably go back to a Pertronix sometime. -- Christian '71 Bus - Turtle Save Darfur -- http://www.savedarfur.org/ World Vision (Darfur) -- http://donate.wvus.org/OA_HTML/xxwvi...item=107218 2 ICC (Sudan) -- http://www.persecution.org/Countries/sudan.html |
