What are users of Tracy's controller doing for an backup timing pulse source? I know, the stock pickup is extremely reliable, but I do recall mention of the concern on the RWS site; and unless it's been updated recently, I don't remember seeing any specific solutions. Where else is a good place to add another pickup - the oil pump? - the flywheel? Inquiring mind(s) want(s) to know. Dale R. COZY MkIV #1254 Ch. 4, 5, 22 and 23 in progress
