Well, repeating what I said when IHC went under, "Oh well, somebody will 
buy the company and the Scout will continue for years to come".  Yeah 
sure. I sure hope that somebody picks it up, as they fill a real need, as 
most of you already know.<

John,

  Here's the latest that I know about Mallory, Summit told me they can't
order anything from Mallory as of yesterday because of the bankruptcy.   A
local speed shop claims they can get anything they want from Mallory and
that the bankruptcy doesn't affect Mallory???  The local price is $85 more
than Summit's.  Mallory definitely was not answering their phones
yesterday.  That's all I know about it.

  MSD told me they have an IH distributor (#8519, Summit, $210), but it
only works with their ignitions, 6A, etc.  The #8519 is not a vacuum
advance type and probably is not emissions legal.
