Hi Steve,   I sent it to the list just before leaving on vacation.  Unfortun=
ately I later found that the message got bounced for size limitations.  Can'=
t seem to edit it down to size on this iPad so will do that when I get back i=
n August.   Will see if I can find a picture editing utility that works on i=
Pad and maybe get it done sooner.

My RV4 & 8 have just the basics,  stock RX-7 alternator and a single battery=
 that I check for capacity every annual.   The significant details are in th=
e PHYSICAL details of the layout.  Digital electronics and inductive spikes f=
rom coils, solenoids, injectors, etc see a long wire as an open circuit duri=
ng the first few nanoseconds.   This is the factor that is most difficult fo=
r builders not familiar with electronics to understand.  This isn't importan=
t with carburetors, distributors & points or magnetos but when you introduce=
 a digital computer into the mix it's a different story.
