Electronic Ignition

I've installed a complete MSD ignition and new Mallory distributor in my 
Scout.  I knew I had an intermittant ignition problem.  Wow! what a 
difference.  It starts *much* better and idles much smoother.  I'm not 
driving my Scout right now, it's not quite ready for the big inspection.  
It usually sits for a week or two between starts.  Frequently long enough 
for all the gas to dry out of the carb.  It still starts well, after you 
get some gas to the carb.  I'm using a points style dist to trigger the 
MSD.  Figure I can always get a points style to work in an emergency.

If you're interested in a Mallory dist, write to me and I'll give you the 
part numbers and contact.  Mallory has re-designed the 345 distributor as 
a result of my working with their tech rep.  Super people, I highly 
recommend them to anyone looking for a dist.
