George:

Just a confirmation regarding=20 your disribuitor. Yours is infact the old dual points = distribuitor=20 form the pre 85 engine? the shortie with the low height cap? = not the=20 later taller one.

That is what I am planing on doing = myself for=20 my Falconar F-12. I have an 1988 13B but I have a nice rebuilt 85 = points=20 distribuitor.

Are you using a coil switcher to = isolate the two=20 sets of plugs? or are you runing it straight as it was in the=20 car?

I am curious if there is any way to = isolate the two=20 sets of plugs and points so as to shut one set off. Dont know if there = is any=20 advantage to this other than ground test for function as a pre take off = check=20 but just curious.

As for carbs, for now I am working = on the=20 three 34mm Mikuni carbs set up as Tracy did originaly = though I am=20 still thinking of how to get a total gravity fed system from my nose = tank. any=20 ideas?

for electrics I am planing on dual = dynamos=20 each puting out about 20 amps. Tiny little gadgets with an external heat = sink=20 regulator.
